Long, yellow-brown flute with carved holes made from a bamboo-like length of reed grass. A separate reed is fitted into the mouthpiece and secured in place with twine. Wool and cotton string are wrapped around the lower portion of the flute in two places.
A woven strap passes around the neck and attaches to the flute about one third of the way from the bottom, where the middle group of threads are wrapped around the flute. The instrument is played while dancing.
