  It is a single instrument of bowed category about 50-60 cms in length. It can be divided into two parts. First the resonator and the finger board. The resonator is made of empty coconut shell with a small hole at the bottom. The coconut shell is covered with the skin of eel fish, which acts as a sound board. The finger board, which is made of bamboo or wood, is attached with the resonator. The string is tethered from the pegs of the string holder to the tail piece of the Bin below the resonator. The string is made of Muga thread (a golden silk of Assam). It is played with a Bow made out a bamboo, and tuft of hair of horse toil. It is played single or can be assisted with Tukari while singing devotional songs.
