Bauls use a number of musical instruments: the most common is the "ektara", a one-stringed "plucked drum" drone instrument, carved from the epicarp of a gourd, and made of bamboo and goatskin. Others include the "dotara", a long-necked fretless lute (while the name literally means "two stringed" it usually has four metal strings) made of the wood of a jackfruit or neem tree; besides "khamak", one-headed drum with a string attached to it which is plucked. The only difference from ektara is that no bamboo is used to stretch the string, which is held by one hand, while being plucked by another. Drums like the duggi, a small hand-held earthen drum, and "dhol" and "khol"; small cymbals called "khartal" and "manjira", and the bamboo flute are also used. "Ghungur" and "nupur" are anklets with bells that ring while the person wearing them dances.
