TUTEK
Tutek is the forerunner of the majority of wind instruments. It is known for its soft tone and very pleasant sound. Archaeological
excavations conducted in Mingechevir, Nakhchivan, Gedabey, Barda and other sites in Azerbaijan provide sufficient evidence of tutek
made of bird and animal bones being in use as early as the 2nd millennium B.C. According to historic chronicles, tutek was also used
in battles.
