    KARAMUZA (Greek: καραμούζα), is a "type of Greek reed instrument, likely having descended from the aulos, a common instrument of ancient Greece and Rome. It is made from wood, with a typical length of about 60 cm. - (About 14.5 inches) It is an instrument of Greek folk music" - Wikipedia, Similar to the Japanese Bamboo Flute Shakuhachi Wood Flute (another folk instrument) and the Shehnai, Woodwind Musical Instrument from India. This is the first one I have ever encountered. It needs a double reed, like an oboe.  14.5 inches long - bottom opening is 3 inches.
