The zurna is usually played with a drone as an ensemble instrument, often accompanied by the nagara drum, at all kinds of festivities in Azerbaijan. This conical double-reed instrument has a traditional fork insert, a plastic lip disc, a mouthpiece with a protective flap made of straw and seven large tone holes, but no resonance hole. It was built in Istanbul in 2011 and donated to a private collector.
