Nyatiti (Africa Kenya Lyre) 非洲肯亞七弦琴

 

 

 

Code : TT 72

Introduction :

Nyatiti (Africa Kenya Lyre) is a five to eight-stringed plucked lyre from Kenya. It is a classical instrument played by the Luo people of Western Kenya, typically in Benga music. It is about two to three feet long. The player holds it to his chest while seated on a low stool. Usually it is played together with the oporo, a curved horn.

The nyatiti played by the Luos is mostly 8-stringed. The stool that the player usually sits on is traditionally known as "Orindi". Orindi is a three-legged stool as low as to the shin level of the player. The player sits down and puts down the instrument in front of him. On the toe of the player is a round-iron ring (nut-like) that produces the constant beat as he/she hits the lower bar of the instrument with it. On the same leg is "Gara", a bell that shakes all throughout the playing period. Most players wear a headgear called "Kondo" on the head mostly made from some animal skin. The dancers tie “Owalo” on their waist as they dance to the beautiful tune of nyatiti.

Code : TT 68

Introduction :

Tibet / Nepal Trumpet is a trumpet used during events or rites offered before a statue of Buddha in Tibet temples.

Trumpet is one of the most ancient instruments still played today. It is often difficult to make a distinction between primitive trumpets and horns, for in each case the sound is produced by the vibration of the player’s lips. In general, however, a trumpet is predominantly straight and cylindrical whereas a horn tends to be curved and conical. Primitive trumpets are found in every continent and are usually associated with ritual and magic.

Africa Drum Set (Kenya Animals’ Hair) 肯亞動物毛髮製的非洲鼓套裝

 

Code : TT 62

Introduction :

African drums, with their shells of different shapes and depths, allow not only the playing of complex rhythmic combinations but also the expression of a wide range of nuances and tone colours. In that respect, African drums are the most sophisticated in the world. There are dozens of types and hundreds of varieties of African drums.

In African culture, drums are used in all spheres of everyday life : to regulate the rhythm of labour, as an accompaniment to dancing, and in all kinds of religious and political ceremonies. Africans attribute magical powers to their drums. They believe that these instruments house the sacred spirits of their drummer predecessors.

The making of a drum is a special ritual, and the instruments are often kept in richly decorated containers, not unlike Christian shrines. The drums are often perceived as a symbol of power and authority. This is why African leaders are often accompanied by official drummers on their visits.

簡介：

非洲鼓有不同的形狀和深度。它們不僅可以用來演奏複雜的節奏組合，也可以用來表達細微和廣泛的音色。因此，非洲鼓可說是世界上最『複雜』的樂器。非洲鼓有幾十個種類和數百個品種。

在非洲文化中，鼓可以用於日常生活的各個領域：規範勞動的節奏、為舞蹈作伴奏，並用於各種宗教和政治儀式上。非洲人賦予他們的鼓擁有魔法力量，他們認為這些鼓能保存他們鼓手前輩的神聖精神。

製造鼓是一項特別的儀式，而鼓經常保存在裝飾華麗的容器中，像基督教聖地一樣。鼓往往被視為一種權力和權威的象徵，這正是非洲鼓手往往伴隨著其領導人一同出訪的原因。

Zhongruan 中阮

 

 

Code : TT 57

Introduction :

Zhongruan (or zhong ruan中阮, literally means "medium ruan"), is a Chinese plucked string instrument. Take note that it is different from a “moon guitar”(or Yue Qin月琴), which also has a round sound box, but with shorter neck. The zhongruan has a straight neck with 24 frets on the fingerboard and 4 strings. It is usually played with a plectrum (guitar pick). It can also be played with fingers (index finger and thumb with acrylic nails), which is similar to the way of playing the pipa (琵琶). The zhongruan is a tenor-ranged instrument in the family of ruan (阮). In ancient China, the ruan was called Qin Pipa (Qin Dynasty Pipa 秦琵琶) or Ruan Xian (阮咸). Now the ruan has expanded to different sizes and the zhongruan is the "medium" one.

簡介：

中阮（字面意思解作『中型的阮』），是中國的彈撥樂器。中阮與『月亮結他』（或稱作月琴）是不同的。月琴雖然也有一個圓形的共鳴箱，但琴頸較短。中阮的琴頸筆直，有4條弦線及24個音板在指板上。通常用撥子（結他撥子）彈撥弦線演奏，也可以用手指（食指和拇指戴上丙烯酸指甲）彈撥弦線，演奏方法類似演奏琵琶。中阮在阮的家族中，音域屬於男高音範圍。在中國古代，阮被稱為秦琵琶（秦朝代的琵琶）或阮咸。時至今日，阮的體積已發展至不同大小，中阮是屬於『中型的』。
