Scott Market was renamed Bogyoke Aung San Market
in honor of Burmese nationalist hero General Aug
San (1915-1947). Bogyoke Aung San Market is a
major bazaar located in central Yangon. Known for
its colonial architecture and inner cobblestone
streets, the market is a major tourist
destination, dominated by antique, Burmese
handicraft and jewellery shops, art galleries,
and clothing stores

Scott Market was built in 1926, late in the
British rule of Myanmar named after the Municipal
Commissioner of the time, Mr. Gavin Scott. After
Burmese independence in 1948, it was renamed
after Bogyoke (General) Aung San. A new wing of
the market was added across Bogyoke Market Road
in the 1990s. The market structure is listed on
the Yangon City Heritage List

The Pyinsa Rupa has the trunk of an elephant, the
fangs of a lion, the scales of a carp and the
wings of a toenayar (dragon), or sometimes a
bird, and the body a deformed horse.
Myanmar Xylophone which is known as Pattalar is
usually made up of bamboo or copper for its bars.
There are 24 bars in current Pattalar though
there were only seven for its very first version.
And its not an easy process to build a Pattalar
up because it is needed to choose the size,
thickness and age of bamboo.

The saung (also known as the saung-gauk, Burmese
harp, Burma harp, or Myanmar harp) is an arched
harp used in traditional Burmese music. The saung
is regarded as a national musical instrument of
Burma. The saung is unique in that it is a very
ancient harp tradition and is said to be the only
surviving harp in Asia.
53
Recently constructed harps have machine heads or
tuning pegs to make tuning easier. The
traditional silk strings have also been
supplanted by nylon strings, but silk-stringed
harps can still be seen. A full-sized harp has a
body of about 80 cm long, 16 cm wide, and 16 cm
deep, and the arch rises about 60 cm from the
body. Smaller harps have been made for smaller
players. The harp is played by sitting on the
floor with the body in the lap, and the arch on
the left.
