KANJIRA
 Kanjira is used in the musical concerts as a secondary
percussion instrument for producing a soft beat with a jiggling sound to accompany the
light music.
Kanjira is made of a circular wooden frame which is
8-9 inches in diameter and 3-4 inches deep with skin stretched over one side of it. The
frame also accommodates small anklet bells and metal rings in it that help produce the
jingling sounds along with the
beat.
Kanjira is played with right hand and palm
while holding it in the left hand. Of course… this may not be the case with a left
handed person! |
