Bhamarā

The characteristically curved body of this bhamarā from Nepal has seven frontal tone holes and no thumb hole. It is broken at the lower end. The brass funnel shows signs of heavy use and has been mended with nails and strips of linen. Six hammered rings and a brass key stabilise the instrument.
