Sodina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Sodina is a woodwind instrument commonly played in Malagasy music and a member of the aerophone family of instruments. Similar in structure and sound to a flute, the sodina is made out of bamboo, lightwood, platic, or reed and varies in size depending upon the region it is being played in. In most Muslim countries, the sodina is comprised of six openings evenly spaced along the body; however, sodinas indigenous to Madagascar are often found to have anywhere from three to five equidistant openings. Sodinas can be played solo or in a group of instruments, in which case it is accompanied by many flutes and a large drum.
