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.
