Onewa Nguru - Nose Flute
£511.00
Nguru are flutes carved in the natural shape of the whale tooth. They are commonly played by mouth or using the nostrils to produce haunting and melodious tones. They were traditionally played in times of sorrow and remembrance at tangihanga (funerals) or in solitude.
This nguru was hand-carved by Jeremy Walsh from onewa sourced from Aotearoa New Zealand, with unaunahi whakarei. It measures 80 x 38mm and has a glossy finish.
