Eo (instrument)


Eo is a wooden percussion instrument carved in the shape of a tiger with a serrated back, played by running a bamboo whisk across it to mark the ends of sections. Its name is derived from the Chinese . On the back of the tiger is a Jeo-eo that looks like 27 saws. When the music stops, the performer knocks and scratches this Jeo-eo through the Jin and gives a signal.
