A wonderful instrument that plays in the range of the flute. Made of blackwood. 21-1/4" long. Can be played soft enough to play with fiddles, concertina and other instruments but can be played louder to play with bagpipes. Basically in the range of the Uilleann pipes. Comes with a standard plastic oboe reed (you can get more range with a good cane oboe reed. It has 7 holes in front with a thumb hole and a double F hole. The perfect addition for any flute or whistle player. Great tone color. Similar to the instruments heard on the House Band and Blowzabella recordings. Comes with a hard case. Fingering similar to Irish style flutes and tinwhistles.
In blackwood with rosewood bell.

Perfect size for the dulcimer I purchased recently!
I use the Susato Oriole Whistle head with PVC, bamboo, or carbon fiber whistle bodies that I make. The Susato head is precision made and helps my whistles to sound great.
When I first saw the goatskin, I wasn’t sure if it was what I was looking for but I tried it out, it’s pretty much perfect, I make traditional Yupik drums that come from southwest Alaska, in my language, the Yugtun, language we call out drums a cauyaq, and the drum head is traditionally a stomach membrane of a walrus or seal. As someone who lives in modern age, we have contemporary styles and goatskin is one of our contemporary style. For this application it works great.
I read about sistrums in a fantasy adventure book and had to have one! Lark listed one I could afford that combines old crafting techniques with bottle caps! The delivery was quick. I played around with it and was surprised at all the different chimes and riffs it could make. Right now it is displayed with my also-African-made soda can lion. I'm happy!
Nice sound
