Ghatam is nothing more than a large clay pot. It is very
commonly played in South Indian classical performances. There are
two actions of resonance. The primary one is the ringing of the pot
caused by striking. A very low resonance is also produced by the
cavity. This pitch is raised or lowered by opening or closing the
hole with the stomach. |
