Sarunei

Contact the institution

This sarunei is one of the smallest Batak instruments. The body (batang) and the funnel, which resembles a slender bell, are made of kayu-selantam wood. A thin horn lip disc and two mouthpieces hang from the lead pipe support. The instrument has six frontal tone holes, the second of which is disproportionately large, and a thumb hole. The mouthpieces are made of palm leaf (anak-anak sarune).
