The Telegraph | Imphal, Oct. 25:
A 15-day workshop on making indigenous musical instruments of Manipur has raised hope of not only preserving those tools but also creating more artisans. “We are planning to make at least 50 indigenous instruments during the workshop. The instruments belong to various tribal communities and Meiteis. These include drums, flutes, string and wind instruments,” the director of the centre, Yumnam Gyaneshwar, said.
The main attraction is a giant-sized drum made out of a giant tree bought from Senapati at a cost of nearly Rs 1 lakh. The drum locally named khong is 7.5 feet in length and the circumference is 3 feet.
