Gürzə

Gürzə is a traditional Azerbaijani musical instrument that is made up of a long, thin wooden tube with a bell-shaped end. It is usually played by holding the tube vertically and blowing into the narrower end, producing a deep, resounding sound.

Think of it like blowing into a long straw, but instead of just air coming out, a beautiful musical sound comes out! That's what gürzə does – it makes music.

People love gürzə because it has a very unique sound that's sure to delight the ears. It's often used in folk music and ceremonies, and it's a very important part of Azerbaijani culture.
