Janggo
Not on view
Also called a janggu, this hourglass-shaped drum with two heads is the most prominent drum in traditional Korean music and appears in a wide variety of musical types. The connecting ropes and belts are adjusted to change the pitch. The drum can be played seated or carried across the body with a sling. In court music, the janggo is played with a bamboo stick and one hand, while in popular music and janggo dances, two sticks are used.
