Instrument introduction

I want to introduce you an instrument that in my country. It is name is 'Tulum'. It is a wind instrument.

In the north-east of Anatolia, the black sea people are love this instrument.The oldest Tulum is 800 years old.

The difference from the bagpipe used in Scotland is that you do not have a pipe that you can control the bass sounds of. We can examine it in three parts, mouthpiece, body and nav.

Tulum's body is usually made from goat skin. It is important that the goat is 1 year old. The animal, which is under 1 year old, is delicate and thin, and when used for the overalls, it quickly deforms and is useless. After the goat is cut off, the skin is removed in a delicate fashion. After 2 to 3 days of incubation in the mixed firewood ash, flushing of the flies takes place and after the tanning is done, the terpene is firmly attached so that the head and the back part are on the inside. One of the forelegs is hooked up with a dildo. After the drying process, almond oil or glycerin is used for continuous softness. These oils must be used in order to avoid drying and cracking.

Tulum has so emotional and high-toned sound. You can cry when you listening it. But it is so hard to play. You have to have good lungs.
