Lag-na
Musical instrument From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lag-na, or na, is an ancient Tibetan frame drum.[2] The drumhead has a minimum diameter of about one metre.[3] Like the dhyāngro (the principal drum of the jhakri shamans of Nepal), the lag-na has a carved, wooden handle.[4] One plays the na by striking its drumhead with a heavy percussion mallet.[3]
