Udakkiya
This instrument is about 1 feet in length and
is shaped like a sand clock. Udakkiya is made by carving either
the Suriya or Ahala timber
in to two apetures. These apertures are then bound tightly with
the leather of the monkey or the Iguanna and both the sides are
connected with tightly streched twine.
Udakkiya is played with 2 sticks called 'Walayan'. The pitch of
the sound can be changed by applying pressure on the twine with
a bound cloth. |
