Anatolian Zurna

'Anatolian Zurna' by Earthtone contains professionally played and recorded Zurna melodies ready to take your musical experience to the next level!

The Zurna is a Turkish folk instrument of the wind type. It was the first melody instrument of the Mehter teams in the Ottoman period. It has historically been played outdoors, during festive events such as weddings and public celebrations. It has also been used to gather crowds in order to make official announcements. It is a double-reed woodwind instrument which has a very bright, high frequency sound; it is almost inseparable with davul (Turkish bass drum) and it is thought that they constitute a good ensemble for traditional weddings. The Zurna is constructed from one piece of wood, with one thumb-hole and up to eight finger-holes. Seven holes on the front, and one thumb hole, it provides a range of over one octave including some transposition. The most common Zurna playing technique is the continuous playing technique whereby the air collected in the cave of the mouth is blown out from the reed.
