By qurays.
The chray (baskir ҡурай) is a type of musical instrument of wind, relative of the choor. It is an open-ended long flute simile with five fingering holes. The chray is used both as a solo instrument or as part of a musical ensemble formed by other instruments.
It is the most popular musical instrument of the village baskirs that lives in the vicinity of the Urals. The bashkir folk song "the singing cranes", executed only with chray, is more than a thousand years old. Description
The chray measures 51 to 81 cm in length, and has a main pitch of three octaves. The chray is made using the stem of the umbelliferous plant Pleurospermum Uralense, which measures 2 to 3 meters in length. The plant blooms in July, drying in August-September. The stem is cut in September and stored in a dry and dark place. The length of the instrument results from measuring a section of the stem that comprises 8 to 10 times the width of a palm. The first hole is made about four fingers apart from the top of the mouth, the next three holes are made at a distance of two fingers from each other, the fifth at the back three fingers away from the fourth hole. Nowadays the wood chray is produced, which allows to obtain a more stable instrument with a sound similar to the original chray.
