Triple clarinet; launeddas
Launeddas, triple clarinet. The three pipes, two chanters and one drone, with the shortest to the player’s right, are tied together with strings. A heterozeug mouthpiece, closed at the top by a node, is inserted into the proximal end of each pipe and secured with black wax. Each up-cut reed has a piece of black wax at its tip to tune it. Both of the chanter pipes have five rectangular fingerholes. The bottom finger hole of each pipe is elongated to approximately twice the length of the others. The long drone pipe is made in two joints, with a tenon at the bottom of the upper part connecting with a socket in the (replacement) lower pipe.
