Kkwaenggwari
The kkwaenggwari (Korean: 꽹과리; Korean pronunciation:[k͈wɛŋ.gwa.ɾi]) is a small flat gong used primarily in the folk music of Korea. It is made of brass and is played with a hard stick. It produces a distinctively high-pitched, metallic tone that breaks into a cymbal-like crashing timbre when struck forcefully.
A kkwaenggwari
It is particularly important in samul nori and pungmul, although it is also used in other genres.
This gong is struck with a wooden mallet to produce a sharp, attention commanding sound. The instrument is commonly used in folk performing arts in Korea, including shamanic music, dance, and mask dance drama, and is the lead instrument in pungmul.
In Nongak, the person who beats a kkwaenggwari is called Sangsoe (상쇠) or Busoe (Korean: 부쇠). Sangsoe is responsible for directing the entire flow.[1]
