Horanāva

This Horanāva has a hardwood body and a bronze funnel. A brass casing is attached to the top of the instrument. The two rings - between the second and third and between the fifth and sixth finger holes - are also made of brass. A delicate metal chain is attached to the back of the body. The small lip disc was soldered to the tube support.
