Bak (hangul: 박; hanja: 拍) is a wooden clapper used in Korean court and ritual music.[1][2] The person playing the bak is called jipbak; he serves as conductor or musical supervisor for the group. Bak is arranged from 6 pieces of wooden sticks tied together and creates the clapping sound if clapped to indicate the beginning of music plays.[1]
