Kamayacha
Kamayacha is an extremely elegant instrument of the
professional singing community of Mangniars all over
Marwar. It has a large circular belly covered with
parchment, a peg system and a finger board. It has three
main strings of gut, besides nine suppletory and four
sympathetic steel strings all passing through a broad
bridge. The long wooden curved bow of horse-tail hair
moving on all the strings is characteristic of this
instrument. Used by all singing communities, specially
in Marwar but mainly by those belonging to the Langas.
