Bālabān
This very old double-reed instrument is made of light-coloured, varnished wood. It is characterised by the conical body, which is clearly inverted on the outside, and the large mouthpiece, which is significantly thinner towards the front and slotted on the sides. The instrument has seven almost equal frontal tone holes and is one of the bālabāns sounding in north-east Iraq.
