Udu

We also provide you with instruments that you cannot easily reach. Udu is one of these interesting instruments. In Igbo language udu means “vessel”. It is a percussion instrument used in the Music of Igbo (Ibo) which is in Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is a clay pot with an opening at the head and on the side, the pot is played by hands by striking. This idiophone was originally played by Igbo women for ceremonial purposes. Udu performers can generate various pitches in different dynamics by striking different parts of the udu. The timbre changing time to time from deep to pale can hypnotize the listeners.
