Zurna
A Zurna is a traditional wind instrument commonly used in Middle Eastern, Balkan, and Central Asian music. Made from wood or sometimes metal, it produces a loud, bright sound by blowing air into it while covering finger holes to create different pitches. Its tone is often sharp and penetrating, suitable for outdoor and festive settings. The Zurna is used in cultural celebrations, folk music, and sometimes in ceremonial contexts, valued for its expressive sound and ability to evoke emotion and atmosphere in musical performances.
