Traditional Romanian instrument

Macro Mondays:; Music

This is a traditional Romanian musical instrument called a Bucium. Made of a very light wood, it is similar to an alphorn, and was used by shepherds for communication in the mountains, We purchased it in 2014 when we visited this wonderful country: a very bumpy road took us to an isolated farm house where this, and other traditional crafts were still practiced by the owners.
