Saw U

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Saw U is a classical Thai instrument. It has two strings, and can produce 8 notes. It is the lowest sounding Saw of the Saw family. [1]

The bottom is made of delicate goatskin, wrapped around a carved coconut shell. The "Morn", or Pillow, that rests at the bottom is extremely sensitive, and drifts over time, causing changes in tone.
