Turkish Pipe / töröksíp

It has an oboe-like double-tongued pipe, and is made of maple. The töröksíp was probably made known to Hungarians by the Turks. However it is known to all Asiatic people, from Tibet to Japan. It was especially popular during the Rákóczi freedom-fight. The töröksíp was a pipe used by the military, but is was also popular – together with the bass drum – for dances in Transylvania in the 17th and 18th centuries.
