dhantal
The dhantal is a long steel rod based percussion instrument (sounding similar to the triangle), which was adapted from the iron "bows" that yoked the oxen that pulled the carts on the estates in Guyana, Surinam, and Trinidad and Tobago.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.trinidadexpress.com/commentaries/The_mainstreaming_of_roti-198555321.html?m=y&smobile=y )〕 The original beater was an actual horseshoe, a shape which is still retained in the dhantal's modern context as a musical instrument. Its top is tapered to a fine point to allow for greater resonance, and its end is shaped into a circle that rests on the ground, table, or other surface when it is played. It is usually about a meter long and 3/8" to 1/2" thick.
==History==
The dhantal is of Indian origin, but most commonly found in the Caribbean. It is unclear whether it was brought to the Caribbean from India or invented by Indian laborers on the Caribbean sugar plantations. The instrument's name literally means "stick percussion" from ''danda'', "stick," and ''taal'', the act of striking rhythmically.
