Romanian panpipe (nai) with 20 tubes, from an unknown workshop. The nai is the traditional Romanian form of the panpipe, with tubes arranged in a slightly concave arc to facilitate faster movement between pipes. Standard Romanian nai instruments are typically tuned in G with 22 tubes, beginning on a low G; this 20-tube example begins on B rather than G, giving it a slightly higher starting note and more compact range. Wood type is unknown. Tuned to standard key of G.

Plays responsively with good tuning. A good beginner's instrument for anyone wanting to explore the nai tradition.
