The '''ekkalam''' is an [[aerophone]] instrument mainly used in [[Tamil Nadu]], India. It consists of a large [[brass]] tube with one end having a bell. This instrument produces sound by vibration of air injected by the player, altering the pitch by changing the lip tension and the power of air flow. It is played in [[temple]] festivals or celebrations. Most of the sound produced travels straight outward from the bell. It is played along with a drum or another ekkalam.<br />
