Xiao (China) | Xun (China) | Yotar | Zufolo (Italy)


This is the last post of the list related to Wind Instruments. Next post will be the first one of a new list: Single Reed Instruments. Enjoy!









The Yotar is on the list but I could not find any video for that instrument.

Whamola | Whistle | Willow flute (Scandinavia)

More Wind Instruments

There is a mistake in wikipedia's original list of instruments, the whamola is not a wind instrument... I have to follow the list so I won't omit the instrument.



I couldn't find a decent video for the whistle... I could only find this one instead

Suling | Tin Whistle | Tonette

More Wind Instruments



Suling (Indonesia), Tim Whistle (Ireland) and Tonette (USA). Three continents and three instruments in a single post... sorry for the last video, it is hard to find decent videos for a plastic made flute.

Shvi (Armenia) | Siku | Slide whistle

Pan pipes | Pasiyak or Water whistle (Philippines) | Persian (Iran) | Piano horn | Pulalu (Philippines) | Quena (South America)

It's been a few weeks since I posted my last entry about instruments... so this time you'll get six instruments in a row instead of 3.








Instrument #3:
There are many persian instruments. It should be one of the following:

Organ pipe | Paixiao (China) | Palendag (Philippines)

Do not miss  the first video. It is probably the biggest instrument in the world.









World's Biggest Pipe Organ




I could not find any video featuring a Palendag... so in case you are interested in knowing more about this strange instrument just click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palendag

Nohkan (Japan) | Nose flute | Ocarina (Italy)


The picture does not show a real nose flute, but it is one of the fumiest photos I found...

Do not miss the last video, the Ocarina is really a very curious instrument.






Actually this is not a real nose flute, but the video is pretty fun. Click HERE to know more about nose flutes.

Koudi (China) | Nadaswaram (South India) | Ney (Iran)



Today's instruments are really exotic. I've never heard of them.

I will try to find three representative videos for such a selection of instruments. I hope you will find it interesting.

Kaval (Turkey) | Khloy (Cambodia) | Khlui (Thai)




Finding the videos for today's instruments has been more difficult than I thought.

I could not find music masterpieces for such a strange selection of instruments... it is pretty curious though.

Hun (Korea) | Irish Flute | Inci (Philippines)


I hope you'll like today's instruments.

Ireland, The Philippines and Korea are our countries this time.








I am not sure if this is a real Inci flute. It is very hard to find videos of that instrument. It is also a bamboo Philippine flute anyway and it sounds pretty good.

Fujara (Slovakia) | Gemshorn (Germany) | Hocchiku (Japan)

Just a comment about video #2. The instrument played on the video is supposed to be a bass gemshorn (it really looks like a horn...I guess it is actually a horn).

I found a good video of a real Gemshorn... but it included a bagpipe... who needs bagpipes?

Fife | Flabiol | Flageolet

Today's instruments are neither exotic nor too international (all of them are European)

Flageolet (double flageolet)

Duduk (Armenia) | Didgeridoo (Australia) | Diple (Croatia)

I'm sorry, the last one is a bagpipe

Conch | Danzo (Korea) | Dizi (China)

Once again pretty exotic and weird instruments.

Conch: It's just a seashell used to play music. There is a surprising wide range of conch instruments. Click here.
