RE: My Native American style flute tracks are now available for streaming

You have tried Serune kale, you can calibrate it. SERUNE Kalee is a typical Aceh trumpet with a clarinet-like structure. Serune Kalee is usually played as the main instrument in a traditional music performance in Aceh, accompanied by a geundrang, rapai, and a number of other traditional instruments. To this day, Serune Kalee still lives sustainably in the Acehnese community, and plays a major role in the social rites of the Acehnese. This instrument is classified into the type of aerophone, or instruments that have a sound source from blowing air in the cavity. In fact, Serune Kalee comes from two words, namely (serune) which refers to a traditional Acehnese instrument, and (kalee) which is the name of a village in Laweung, Pidie Regency. So in simple terms, Serune Kalee can be interpreted as serunai / flute from the Kalee area. It is very likely that the naming is associated with the appearance or place of the serunai / flute made.

Apart from Aceh, similar musical instruments can also be found in other areas in Sumatra, such as in the Minangkabau and Agam communities. Furthermore, Serunee Kalee also has similarities with several instruments from other countries, such as Malaysia, Thailand and Sri Lanka. Such instruments share a number of similarities in terms of pitch, vibration, volume and sound dynamics.

It has a reed like the Duduk but sounds different.
I don’t think I can find one here in Australia. I do have a Xaphoon though.
