description
LocationKelantanDescriptionThe serunai is an additional instrument used for the dance pieces Tari Ragam and the piece entitled Lagu Berjalan during the Makyung performance. It is a wind instruments, where the body is made of a conical tube carved from jackfruit wood, with seven finger holes on the front side and a thumbhole on the back. The instrument is found in two sizes (large, about 48 cm in length and small, about 40 cm) called Ibu and Anak respectively. The Serunai Ibu, which is normally used in the Kelantanese Shadow Play performance, is also used in Makyung performances. The loud and sometimes strident sound of this instrument is produced by blowing through a reed that consists of four layers of dried palmyra palm (pokok lontar) leaf. The reed is cut in the shape of a small fan and is attached to the top end of the body. The lower end of this instrument is bell-shaped and is decorated with ornate geometrical carvings that are painted with bright colors. Just as in rebab melodies, the serunai typically produces a highly florid melodic line with many fast-moving notes. The instrument can be unassembled for storage in a special case and quickly reassembled into a single piece when it is to be played.
