Harib

This instrument from Kashmir - known as the harib - is played by the Be-da musicians together with the daman kettledrum. The thick-walled double-reed instrument has an apricot wood body stabilised with seven brass rings. It has ten frontal tone holes and a thumb hole between the first and second tone hole. The pipe support, lip disc and mouthpiece are missing. The instrument comes from the possession of a travelling monk who traded it in Ladakh's capital Leh.
