One of the oldest instruments of time, it was mostly popular for outdoor functions only. It has a very natural "Loud" sound. It consists of 3 parts.

The first part is the Reed. It is made from a grass reed, dried out

Apart from the consentration on the playing, one must also keep a continues breath. Yes the Zourna needs circular breathing, in from the nose and out from the mouth.

Today you will only find a small handfull of people who actually play the zourna. There are not that many in Greece, but you can always find one in Turkey
