Hnè gala

The body of this Hnè galay from Myanmar has seven frontal tone holes and a thumb hole. The special feature of the instrument is that the funnel is not firmly attached to the body. On this example, the brass funnel is held in place with a cotton strap. The mouthpiece probably consists of two strong palm leaf segments.
