The gralla ((:ˈɡɾaʎə)), also known as grall de pastor, xaramita o xirimita, is a traditional Catalan double reed instrument in the shawm family. Like the dolçaina from Valencia - a very similar instrument which many experts consider a variety of the gralla - the gralla comes from the ancient xeremies a medieval instrument largely used until the Baroque. Probably, the name of the instrument comes from its strident sound similar to the sound of a native bird of Catalonia and the north of Spain called gralla too. The gralla is also very popular because it is the traditional instrument used during the ascencion and descencion of human towers or castells and other traditional festivities. Usually it is played with the tabal, a percussion instrument similar to a drum. The gralla player is called ''graller'' o ''grallaire'' == Types== * ''La gralla seca'' ("dry gralla"): the most simple type without any metallic keys and produces a more hard or strident sound. It is also the more typical type. * ''La gralla dolça'' ("sweet gralla"): longer than the others, can have from one to many metalical keys that are used to produce lower and higher notes that the gralla seca can't produce and have also a less strident and more "sweeter" sound. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gralla (instrument)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
