Pat Wain
The brass cymbals "si"(left), which sometimes get replaced by the bigger "yakwin", are held in the right hand
of the vocalist.
In his/her left hand she/he holds the wooden "wa" which appear in the shape of castagnets or a bamboo
node slit open (right).
Both provide the basic patterns of a tune:
All accents are performed by the "wa" while the "si" gets used on weak or unaccented notes. Each pattern is
strictly linked to a melodical phrase or passage and often counts up to 9 or 16 bars. Like in the Gamelan
ensembles with the last gong, the final stroke of the "wa" is getting delayed as much as possible.
