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 |
