Description

Single cane reedpipe with incorporated mouthpiece, idioglottal reed (broken and missing), and wax-coiled birch bark (Betula sp.) bell. Two small nails secure the end wrapping of the bell. An old label attached to this instrument reads that this was a "birch bark bugle to frighten bears (...) made by Parasksira the ancient runo singer."
