Jori (instrument)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For uses of Jori, see Jori (disambiguation).

Jori, Jodi, or Jorhi (sometimes Jori-Pakhawaj) is a South Asian percussion instrument made up of two individual drums. The Jori originates from the Punjab region of South Asia.[1] Historically, the Jori has accompanied Gurbani Kirtan.[1][2] Prominent exponents of the Jori include Ustad Sukhvinder Singh 'Pinky",[3] and Bhai Baldeep Singh.[1]

In its construction, the Jori is similar to the Tabla. The key differences being the use of a larger dayaan (treble drum), and a wooden barrel-shaped bayaan (bass drum) with atta (dough) instead of the syahi .[4]
