For the production of this instrument, players can make their own, because the instrument is convenient and available locally. This traditional musical instrument can be played by musicians without any specific occasion which means it can be played for entertainment purposes too, but they have to choose a specific song for a specific occasion. In the past, people used to play Am Wat in the morning to wake their children up, but now there are very few people who can use this instrument.
