Nowadays most of the mosques have utilized the speaker system hence this tradition of striking the beduk is being abandoned. A few of them still have the beduk but only in use during Ramadhan or Eid.
This beduk was a gift from my brother in law who acquired it from his village. The age of this beduk is at least 50 years old.
Its length is about 3.5 feet & 1 ft in width. There is a vertical opening about 2 feet at the middle of this wooden bell to create the sound when bell is struck. I couldnt tell from which tree this beduk was made.
