The launeddas (also called triple clarinet or triplepipe) is a typical Sardinian woodwind instrument made of three pipes. It is a polyphonic instrument, with one of the pipes functioning as a drone and the other two playing the melody in thirds and sixths.[1]
Predecessors of the launeddas can be traced back to approximately 2700 BCE in Egypt, where reed pipes were originally called ‘memet’.[1] During the Old Kingdom in Egypt (2778-2723 BCE), memets were depicted on the reliefs of seven tombs at Saqqarra, six tombs at Giza, and the pyramids of Queen Khentkaus.[2] The launeddas itself dates back to at least the eighth century BCE [3] and are still played today during religious ceremonies and dances (su ballu in Sardinian language).[4] Distinctively, they are played using extensive variations on a few melodic phrases, and a single song can last over an hour, producing some of the "most elemental and resonant (sounds) in European music".[4] Wikipedia
In the early 1970s, as the government's policy to supply organs and pianos nationwide increased demand, a keyboard instrument store called 'Pagoda Arcade' was built in Tapgol Park and other areas, and wind instrument-related stores were gathered in Jongno 2-ga right next to it. It was. However, in 1979, as part of the Tapgol Park maintenance project, the government demolished the Pagoda Arcade and moved it to Nakwon Shopping Center, which is said to be the first time musical instrument stores were established in Nakwon Shopping Center.
In the 1980s, the Chun Doo-hwan administration lifted the curfew and eased restrictions on entertainment establishments for many international events such as the 1986 Seoul Asian Games and the 1988 Seoul Olympics, which led to an explosive increase in the demand for live bands. As import regulations were relaxed, high-quality imported musical instruments such as Yamaha came into the country and greatly prospered the Nakwon Shopping Center during its growth period. In addition, at the time, Nakwon Shopping Center not only served as a wholesale and retail store for musical instruments, but also served as a training center for musicians. At that time, there were almost no facilities to systematically teach popular music, or in modern terms, ‘practical music’. As a result, Nakwon Shopping Center was crowded with people who wanted to learn various instruments in a short period of time and get jobs as musicians in entertainment establishments. Due to the boom in live bands, the number of stores selling various guitars, drums, and other musical instruments increased, and by 1982, the entire third floor was filled with musical instrument stores, and the offices on the fourth floor were used as warehouses for musical instrument stores. .
In addition, until the early 1990s, Nakwon Shopping Center was virtually the mecca of the music talent market where all performer-related recruitment and job search information in Seoul gathered.[4] Therefore, at that time, there was a separate business that did not deal in musical instruments but had several telephones installed in the office and specialized in intermediating between business owners and performers. As a result, Nakwon Shopping Center consists of business owners who hire professional performers as clerks during the day and sell musical instruments to the general public, professional performers who work as clerks during the day and sell instruments and give musical lessons, and brokers who connect professional performers with entertainment establishments at night. And a complex ecosystem of ordinary people learning musical instruments from professional musicians or buying musical instruments was formed, creating the golden age.
In the late 1990s, the economic crisis led to the closure of entertainment establishments, and the emergence of 'karaoke', which installed karaoke instead of expensive live bands, causing the market for professional performers across the country to collapse. In proportion to this, the demand for musical instruments naturally plummeted, but what unexpectedly saved Nakwon Shopping Center was the demand for churches. Since the late 1980s in American Protestant churches, congregational praise using bands for praise has been popular, but as this spread to Korean Protestant churches, it has become a trend for each church to have a band team. I didn't say his playing skills were good. This is why quite a few of the professional musicians currently active are from Protestant churches[5]. In the late 2000s, around the time when demand for churches began to wane[6], the field of so-called 'practical music' emerged, and practical music departments were established in junior colleges and four-year universities. In the late 2000s, idol bands such as FT Island appeared on terrestrial channels, and in the 2010s. Due to the early Cesibong craze, the emergence of young folk song bands such as Busker Busker, and the production of various audition programs, demand for musical instruments from the general public recovered to some extent.

Uri is a small town on the border with Pakistan. The river Jhelum flows by.
I was passing through this town one day in November and with not much to shoot in the township bar the shops etc. While I bid my time near the small bus stand, an old gentleman arrived and sat down on the parapet. He looked here and there as if searching for some meaning on a day perhaps when no one wanted to get their cotton carded for refurbishing their old quilts for the cold winter that already had set in early.
The old carding instrument with patches of cotton dust and glistening wood where the gentleman would have to hold the machine stood mute and tired as well.
A long time later, perhaps after he had gathered his thoughts, he looked straight ahead as if wishing there was a tea vendor nearby. That is when this particular image was shot.

A macro of a note boundary on a steel pan - not my best effort, but the reflective surface was harder to photograph in macro than i thought it would be, and i ran out of time!

Last week I shot my friend's band playing this instrument. It's just awesome, and the sound is sublime! I loved it!
Too sad that I forgot what it's called...Does anyone know?
Updated: My dear friend Vassilis V. told me that this instrument is called Sitar. Thank you so much, Vassilis! :) :) :)

This is where I feel at home.
I spent all of yesterday working on a Spanish project that required me to make 277 flash cards with Spanish on one side and a picture on the other. Guess how long that took me. And now I have another project in that class and finals are in a week. Oh, and I did a fight scene in Drama today. I think I got a B- I totally ruined one of the moves. Oh well.
On the bright side, I'm reading The Mortal Instruments- Book Two right now (really great series, I highly recommend it) and eating a sandwich.
I got an Instagram! If you're interesting in following me, my username is sammarieenglish. Tell me if you have an Instagram so I can follow you! :)
Replaced this because I didn't like the first one. Follow up of this.
--Huxitar, Uygur folk musical instrument from SinKiang--
It is the first time I went to a restaurant with a DSLR(clearly a symptom of flickr addiction), I can't recall the name of the uygur instrument on the patterned wall, the restaurant was run by a hometown folk, a stout uygur woman, anyway, her pretty daughter sets up the whole place
"these instruments are very unique with a history of thousands of years, stems from Ancient Silk Road, blended with Central Plain culture, Central Asia Culture and Islamic Culture."
