At about 800 BC, one leader of Lashi/Lachik people, WoGyant went to Baijing for the further studies. When he returned to home after completion of his studies, Chinese king gave him a present of Yoke Myan Sai Tant Khaik (Single string Guitar) to him. From that time on, it becomes a national musical instrument of Lashi/Lachik national race. The guitar frame is made of Yamanay wood in the shape of hornbill bird. The jute string was used as the string in the past. But now it's replaced with a number one guitar string. The multiple melodies can be played with it adjusting the tuner at the gesture of crossbow shooting. -1 feet 11 inches in length -10.5 inches in length of the soundboard -7 inches in breadth of soundboard -2.5 inches in height of soundboard -1 feet 5 inches in length of string -13 inches in length of fingerboard
