Graillé

The instrument comes from the Villefranche-de-Rouergue area in the Aveyron department in Midi-Pyrénées. The very slender two-piece body is made of varnished boxwood. It has seven tone holes at the front, the lowest of which is offset to the side for better operation. The upper quarter of the funnel has three sound holes; one of them has a horn plug which - unlike on the shawm - is not used to secure the reed carrier but for fine tuning. There is a larger tuning hole in the lower third of the oboe. A braided strap is used to secure the funnel
