The tambin (also sereendu, fulannuorFula flute) is a diagonal diatonic flute without a bell, made from a conical vine, with three finger-holes and a rectangular embouchure with two wings on either side. It is considered the national instrument of the Fula peopleofWest Africa and is similar in its sound and quality to the Middle Eastern ney. The flute was used in the 2018 Marvel movie Black Panther.[1]
This proportion is an accurate reflection of the importance of the flute among the Fula; it is, in a sense, their national instrument.
