Touloumi, tulum, aggeion, traditional pontiac wind instrument, handmade goatskin and walnut tree woodTouloumi bags are generally of sheep or goat hide. Different regions have different ways of treating the hide. The simplest methods involve just the use of salt, while more complex treatments involve milk, flour, and the removal of fur. The hide is normally turned inside out so that the fur is on the inside of the bag, as this helps with moisture buildup within the bag. The blow pipe is a short, conical wooden or bone tube in which the player blows to refill the bag. At the end of the blow pipe that is within the bag, there is a small return valve of leather or felt which allows air into the bag via the blow pipe but not back out. The chanter is the pipe on which the melody is played Popular woods include walnut wood, plum wood or other fruit wood.We ship worldwide. Registered shipping only. Making the touloumi is a slow procedure. Allow 20 days to build.
