Karinding

Originally karinding is a tool used by the ancestor to repel pests in rice fields are low-decible sound very destructive pest concentration. Because it emits certain, then it is called it as a musical instrument. Not only used for the benefit bersawah, the ancestor played this karinding in traditional rituals or ceremonies. So no wonder if now also used as an accompaniment karinding still reading rajah. In fact, it is said, this karinding used by men to seduce or captivate likeable heroine. If this statement is true then we can guess that karinding, at that time, was a popular instrument among young people up to the girls will give more value to youth who expertly play. Possible existence today such as guitar, piano, musical instruments and modern-popular today.

Some sources state that karinding have existed even before the harp. If the harp has approximately five hundred year old then karinding thought to have existed since the past six centuries. And it turns out karinding was not only in West Java or Priangan alone, but by different tribes or regions in the country, even the various tribes in other nations also have this instrument-just different name alone. In Bali named genggong, Central Java named crawl, karimbi in Kalimantan, and some places in the "outside" named by zuesharp (harp god Zues). And modern musical term used to refer to this karinding as mouth harp (mouth harp). In terms of sound production was not much different, just how to play it just a little different: there are in trim (on vibrate with at sentir), on tap (hit), and some are in drag by using threads. While karinding the level encountered in the Sunda played the way in tap or hit.

The material used to make karinding (in West Java), there are two types: kawung midrib and bamboo. The type of material and type of design forms karinding shows differences in age, place, and gender differences as users. Materials such as bamboo implant is more like a bun, it's for women, because women supposedly keep the plug in a bun. While the men using sheath kawung with shorter size, because they are stored in a regular tobacco store. But also as a place where the distinction made, such as in the eastern Priangan, karinding more use bamboo as the material is a part of life.

Karinding generally measure: 10 cm long and 2 cm wide. However, this measure does not apply absolute; depending on the tastes of the user and the manufacturer-because this measure to some extent will affect the sound produced.

Karinding divided into three segments: the first segment being knocked Karinding place and cause vibrations in the middle segment. In the middle section there is a section of bamboo is cut to vibrate when karindingdiketuk with fingers. And the third segment (far left) serves as a handle.

How to play karinding quite simple, namely, by attaching the middle segment karinding in front of the mouth slightly open, then hit or menyentir far right end of the segment karinding with one finger to "needle" karinding was vibrating intensely. From vibration or vibra "needle" that produced sound diresonansi later by mouth. Sound issued will depend on the oral cavity, breathing, and tongue. Conventionally-according to the narrative Abah Olot-tone or pirigan in karinding play there are four types, namely: tonggeret, gogondangan, rereogan, dan iring-iringan.
