ZURNA
Zurna is a type of wind musical instruments known for its strong shrilly sound. The body of zurna is usually carved out of apricot,
walnut or mulberry. There are seven apertures on the front side of the instrument and one on the back side. Since times immemorial,
its loud and distinct sound was a signature element of a traditional Azerbaijani wedding, particularly the moments when a bride is taken
from her patrimonial home.
