P1000378.jpg

This harp with 6 strings is called "Tünak" and used by the Karen people in Thailand and Burma. It is an interesting instrument as it appears to be a smaller model/version of the highly decorated "saung" harp of Burma. It also knows a variety of songs and pieces and is a basic instrument of the Karen musical life.
