Theatre Performances in Mandalay

Playing “saung gauq”

A woman plays a “saung gauq” or Burmese harp at the Marionettes and Culture Show in Mandalay. It has sixteen strings and is made in the form of a boat. The boat-shape hollow base or body of the harp is made of the finest padauk (pterocarpus) wood, the neck is made of acia catechu wood, and the drum of deerskin. It is played by plucking with the fingers.
