The murgu is an end-blown flute with no holes, usually made from the stalk of an angelica plant. Since the traditional murgu is fragile and impermanent, Sayan Chambal crafted a special one for Alash, designed to withstand the rigors of touring. This murgu, shown above, is made from a ski pole. At left, Ayan Shirizhik is shown playing the murgu. The limpi (not shown) is an open-ended, side-blown flute made of wood or bamboo. The number of holes varies.
