The "feko" flute serves several functions in village life. Cattle are free range and the flute is to call the cows home. It is also a good way to signal your hunting partner or once you get close to home - let Momma know you are nearby and what you caught for dinner! These flutes are carved from petrocarpus indicus wood. This is the wood most favored for carving for it's durability and beauty. The smaller the flute the higher the pitch. I have seen people perform music with these flutes but I can only extract two notes. The flute is played by blowing across the top. |
