Tayàw
Not on view
Also called the thro, the Burmese violin illustrates how local musicians adapted ideas introduced by the French in the early 18th century and later by the British. European instruments including the piano were assimilated into existing musical practices, replacing or coexisting with traditional forms. The three-stringed tayàw is played vertically supported by its spike.
