Description: | The collector, Mercedes Mackay, describes how this 'shrill one-note flute' was played together with a mirliton (M15.6.55/15), a horn and drums in a demonstration of a war dance. ('The Traditional Musical Instruments of Nigeria' Nigerian Field, 15 (3) July 1950, p.117)
End-blown flute, whistle. Conical tube of horn, with a wide circular rim at the top. The tip of the horn is removed, leaving a small central hole at the distal end. A leather sleeve covers the upper approximately three quarters of the surface. The edges are stitched together along a straight seam at the side with a strip of twisted leather, which continues to a loop handle mid-way down. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | Kaleri flutes flutes (aerophones) | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-15802 |
