Launeddas (Sardegna)

The launeddas, triple clarinet or triplepipe is a typical Sardinian woodwind instrument, consisting of three pipes. It is polyphonic and played using circular breathing. An ancient instrument, dating back to at least the 8th century BC [launeddas are still played during religious ceremonies and dances (su ballu)]. Distinctively, they are played using extensive variations on a few melodic phrases, and a single song can last over an hour, producing some of the "most elemental and resonant (sounds) in European music".
