The bass bau was adapted from the dan bau to provide a musical range equivalent to that of a bass guitar. In recent years an electric version has been introduced, to be played in ensembles and large concerts. Vietnamese music group Khac Chi has added frets to the instrument’s already complex array of pitch production mechanisms.Īs the sound box of the dan bau is very narrow, it is not a loud instrument, and was traditionally used in more intimate environments. This produces the dan bau’s characteristic high clear sound. The player touches the string lightly with the heel of the hand at harmonic producing nodal points while plucking with the fingers. The Stem is bent to change the pitch of the string. The single string runs between the soundbox and a small wooden gourd attached to the stem. It is constructed of a long narrow sound box, with a tall curved stem made from water buffalo horn inserted at one end. Iran.ĭan Bau – The dan bau is a one-string zither native to Vietnam.
