Doktor Tembaga

Such a proud moment, a more decent thing to do than selling them. Refer here.

Kami cucu2 Mulah Nini Hj Ibrahim selalu bermain2 dgn gong2 atu d kampong. Malar tah kami mengatok tu gong atu sampai kedengaran seluruh rumah. Kdg2 kna marahi p sudah basar2 ane jrg g kn d katok sama kna marahi, haha. There's no more to hit now except for the smaller gongs hehe. Oh, hitting the gong has a very pleasant echo effect actually. It sounds really smooth. Not that I have hit other gongs made by other people ever, but u know its of high quality considering it's been around for ages and genereations. And with the same audio effect of a gong.

Sayangnya, ndada cucu2nya ane yg mewarisi tradisi membuat tembaga ane lagi...It shows how young people now have no or little interest in it..

I hope by giving it to the museum, many will appreciate its art and beauty and to recognise that there once was a great artist of coppermaking in Brunei.

Salam.
