Harib (Surnāī, Sur-na)

This old instrument is a harib from the north of India. The wooden body has seven front finger holes and a thumb hole between the first and second tone holes as well as a resonance hole. Nine brass rings protect the drilled-out body from cracks. The rim of the funnel is decorated with a tinplate rim. The double-reed instrument was acquired by a private collector in Leh, Ladakh.
