Contact the institution

This Sūrnāj is characterised by a thick-walled body made of red-brown oiled wood. There are decorative mother-of-pearl inlays on the top of the body and on the funnel. The lip support is thick-walled and curved. Three replacement reeds hang from the reed support. The double-reed instrument was acquired by the collector's brother in Samarkand in 2005.
