    BRASS KKWAENGGWARI (Korean traditional Brass Cymbal)
    (Brand : PN)
    The most clamorous of Korean percussion instruments, the kkwaenggwari is a disc-like gong made of brass that is 20 centimeters in diameter. These types of instruments are called ‘sogeum’ when used in royal ceremonial rituals, but similarly-shaped instruments featured in farmers or folk music are known as ‘kkwaenggwari.’ In a farmers group of musicians, two people play the kkwaenggwari: the sangsoe and the busoe. The musician is the role of sangsoe leads the music by playing high-pitched tones, while the busoe accompanies using softer tones. The kkwaenggwari is held with one hand and struck with a wooden mallet and can be played using a variety of grips and techniques. For example, musicians can control the length of each sound by placing their fingers on the gong at varying intervals to cut off the gong’s sound.
