Serunai Malaysia Traditional Insturemnt


The Malay Serunai is a reed wind instrument, with a quadruple reed made from rice stalk. The body has 7 front finger holes and 1 at the back. Circular breathing technique is used so that once a melody is started it does not stop until the tune ends.

The "serunaidaunkelapa" is made from coconut leaves and is shaped like a horn. It was designed during the olden days by the Malay community, to communicate with its sound. The "serunaibatangpadi" is made from padi stems.
