This musical instrument, constructed from a plastic pipe, consists of two crafted holes easily shaped to help direct the passage of air. The shape and design of the flute must accommodate the actual sound waves moving through air in order to produce notes. It is used and played by anyone within the community often accompanied with singing and dance.
