Horn

Burmese

Not on view

Horns fitted with a vibrating reed on their sides are found in Southeast Asia and are known by several names Kwai and among the Karen gweh (Myanmar), sneng (Cambodia), tödiap (Vietnam). Probably originally used in warfare and as alarms, they may be used in rituals and funerals. The pitch may be controlled by opening or closing the thumb hole or adjusting the larger opening with the hand.
