The kkwaenggwari
is a small flat gong that is used predominantly in the Korean folk music. The musical instrument is
manufactured and performed with the use of a hard stick. The musical instrument
manufactures a uniquely high-pitched, metallic tone, which breaks into a
crashing tone
quality that is like that of a cymbal when the instrument is struck forcefully.
The
musical instrument is predominantly significant in samul nori and pungmul, even though it is also used in some
other genres.
The
name of the musical instrument is perhaps onomatopoetic for the sound that is being
manufactured by the musical instrument, "kkwaeng-kkwaeng" the gong is
struck with a wooden mallet to create a piercing responsiveness commanding
sound. The musical instrument is used for the farmers band music nong ak and
the shaman music.
