- a tympanic instrument
the Aunkalung [Angklung] made up
of 3 bamboo resonators
tuned to a 3 note chord and
mounted erect suspended
on a frame + within each a
metal striker
[Drawing of angklung, with area to strike denoted]
Tall projections from the frame
are decorated with artificial
flowers + peacock feathers. The
instrument is [illegible word crossed out] vibrated in
the hand; each player holding
two of the instruments. 10 players
made up the orchestra plus
a high pitched small cymbal
+ a slightly larger cymbal + a double drum.
The other orchestra consisted
of 6 or 7 long drums a pipe
a cympal [cymbal] + something else. The
music was fascinating +
very lively + the performers
executed some most lively
dance routines while they
played.
Another instrument used
was a wind instrument
called a Kan. This is not
usually used in an orchestra
but is a solo instrument
of the countryman.
From Saraburi we went
on to the Buddhas Footprint
shrine a very beautiful
+ truly amazing structure
or series of structures at which
we could spend only half
an hour - far too short.
A 30 mile drive back to-
ward Bangcock [Bangkok] brought us
to Bang Pa-in chu
summer palace. It is
essentially modern with a
lot of Victorian figures
ornamenting the bridges +
such. In the middle of
a small formal lake is
a very lovely small shrine
