Trumpet
End-blown trumpet. A long narrow wooden tube with a slightly conical exterior. The proximal end tapers to a narrow opening, possibly the receiver for a separate mouthpiece. The bell is made from the neck of a gourd and flares towards the rim. A length of fabric is tied around the bell and the tube where they join. Another fabric band is tied round the body close to the proximal end.
