The Balai Nobat

 

The Balai Nobat of Kedah is also known as " The Hall of Drums". It is belongs to the old Sultanate of Kedah.The Hall features the nobat, the instruments of the royal orchestra. It comprises drums, gongs, and a traditional flute. These instruments are played on special ceremonial occasions only. 

However, now, to view the real Nobat instruments, one has to go to the Kedah State Museum whereby onlookers can only view but cannot capture any photos inside the museum.
