Bālabān

This woodwind instrument, known as a bālaban, has eight unequal, frontal tone holes and a thumb hole between the first and second tone hole. It bears the brand stamp "I Hamidi Tabriz" at the end of the body, which presumably refers to the instrument's former owner or player. The instrument comes from Tehran and came into the possession of the private collector through friends.
