Zūrnā

Contact the institution

The top of the body of this Armenian zūrnā has a slightly raised upper edge, imitating the fork insert characteristic of the instrument. The short tube support has a small hemisphere as a support for the Bakelite lip disc. The inner bore of this type is cylindrical until beyond the third finger hole, at which point it becomes conical. In Armenia, the zūrnā is often played together with the dhol cylinder drum at weddings or other social celebrations.
