Lakpura Kombuwa

The Kombuwa is a unique wind instrument traditionally used by Eastern band leaders in Sri Lankan processions and cultural performances. Known for its sharp, high-pitched sound, the Kombuwa plays a vital role in directing rhythmic patterns and signaling transitions in ceremonial and marching bands.

Crafted from metal or brass, the Kombuwa produces a distinct, resonant tone that stands out among percussive and melodic instruments. As an integral part of Eastern traditional music, it continues to be used in processions, temple festivals, and parades, maintaining its significance in Sri Lankan heritage.
