The hne (Template:Lang-my; also spelled hnè) is a conical shawm of double reed used in the music of Myanmar.
Etymology
The earliest extant written occurrence of the word hne dates to 1491 AD and is likely a Middle Mon loan word, derived from sanoy.[1]
Description
The hne has a sextuple reed (called hnegan), made from the young leaf of the toddy palm, which is soaked for six months.[1] The body of the hne is made of wood, with a conical bore and seven finger holes at the front, set in a straight line, with a bell (Template:My, chu) hung at the top.[1] It has a flaring metal bell and has a loud tone, and is used in an ensemble together with xylophone, tuned gongs, and tuned drums. There are two distinct forms: the smaller form is called the hne galay (Template:My) whilst the larger is called the hne gyi (Template:My). The former is used for songs in the ordinary key of the diatonic major scale, while the latter is used for grand style songs in the subdominant mode.[2]
