Էջ 416 - This instrument is called naffa; and with the chink turned toward them, they sit and beat strongly upon it with two cylindrical pieces of hard wood about a foot long, and as thick as the wrist ; by which means they produce a rude, though loud and powerful sound. They vary the strength and rate of their beating at different parts of the dance ; and also change the tones by beating in the middle, or near the end of their drum. The first dance...
