Bhamarā

This bhamarā from Nepal has a slightly curved body with seven frontal tone holes and no thumb hole. The tip of the body is surrounded by a brass casing. Decorative metal rings are attached between the tone holes. The small metal funnel with an eyelet for the carrying strap shows signs of repair. Three small mouthpieces made of palm leaf segments hang from the pipe support with a lip disc of painted sheet metal.
