Burmese Percussion InstrumentsYouTube Description: "Mae Sot is a border Thai town close to Burma. In Mae Sot and its environs we find a mixture of people from many different origins. Without any doubt the best to do in town for a traveller is heading towards the market. Visit the day market is a fascinating experience. Not only because the astonish presence of products and exotic food from wherever. Still far more interesting is the people we meet. People coming from a puzzle of different ethnic groups. Burmese, Karen, Hmong, Chinese and Thai are among many others we meet on the busy streets around the market. At Ban Mae Tao, a village 3 km west of Mae Sot, on the right side of the road to the border, lies the Burmese temple Wat Thai Wattanaram (some times called Wat Phattanaram). Monks, novices, "dekwat" leaving in that temple, also lay people going to the monastery for leisure or spiritual purposes are Burmese. On the 2nd floor of the main wiharn are the Burmese musical instruments we see on the video. When I arrived there were a group of lay men chatting and playing the percussion instruments. So I had a great chance to record them while playing music. /-----/"


Exotic InstrumentYouTube Description: "I am told that this particular instrument was made in Budapest, but the instrument concept originated in India. I had the guy repeat the name many times, but I had to look it up to know what it was called. He calls it a 'cymbalom'. It is apparently similar to a hammered dulcimer, but chorded, and it would take a musician some time to learn to switch. / My co-worker (the first guy to talk) asked him to play something slow. He was playing something more along the lines of the Turkish March meets Flight Of The Bumblebee prior to the recording."
