Jhallari

The jhallari, jallary, getchu vadyam or gethuvadyam, is a string percussion instrument from South India. It consists of a large resonator (kudam) carved and hollowed out of a log (usually of jackwood), a tapering neck of 1 to 2 feet long, a string tuning box and four metal strings attached from the kudam to the tuning box. Jhallari strings are played with two small wooden or bamboo sticks,[1] one on each hand, to create rhythmic patterns or a percussive development. Both the jhallari and santur are played using a similar technique despite being from different places in India.
