Launeddas (Sardinia)

Also called "sonus de canna" it is a polycalamo clarinet typical of Sardinia.
The Launeddas have two pipes for the melody, called mancosa manna or mancosedda or dextrin and a longer one, called tumbu, for the drone.
The three pipes are played simultaneously, without interruption of sound.
