malaysia's own vuvuzela


penah main ni tak kecik2 dulu? unfortunately i havent. i've seen it but never played it. it is made of coconut leaves. it is then spun (?) around the fingers to resemble a long shell or sort of...if u want it bigger, just add another leaf at the end of the previous one.


 to secure the leaves, we stick a sharpened vein of the leave (lidi).

 how to play this? just blow it like u would to any trumpet. it sounds like a miniature vuvuzela or an annoying 'peeeeeeeeeetttttttttt' sound. i was told to get a louder sound, you just to make a bigger serunai. see, my 5 y.o. niece did easily (as apposed to me..it took me a solid 5 minute to actually make a decent sound of that serunai).




 nice, eh? oh, you might not want to share the serunai with anyone else. because of the 'accumulated oral liquid'...ewwwwww
