Phie

A Phie (/pʰiɛ̯³³/ ⓘ) or Phi is a traditional log drum, an integral part of the cultural heritage of the Khiamniungans in Northeastern state of Nagaland, India.[1] These log drums are massive, hollowed-out wooden carvings large enough to accommodate several men sitting inside in a row.[2] Historically, such large xylophones or percussion instruments were not found among other Naga tribes during earlier times.
