Nodo (Korean노도; Hanja路鼗) is an instrument in Korean traditional music. It is a set of two small drums on a pole. To play the nodo, the pole is twisted, which causes the leather strap attached to the ring of the drum to hit the drum and make a sound.[1] It is used in Korean ritual and court music.[1] The nogo, which is similar to the Nodo, has two larger drums and is used in the same ceremonies.[1]

Confucian ritual held at Munmyo Shrine, Sungkyunkwan seowon

It is effectively a four-sided drum and is used for ancestral rites.[1]
