Contact the institution

This woodwind instrument with double reed has a black-coloured body with seven front tone holes and sound holes as well as a fork insert made of boxwood. Decorative grooves adorn the instrument from the fork insert to the funnel, as do thin wire bands. The tube support and mouthpiece are exceptionally small. It is a zūrnā, which used to be played in Georgia in urban culture as part of an ensemble with the doli drum.
