Zhaleika is a truly Russian folk instrument that plays all aspects of our daily life. It can be used to perform both fast-paced dance tunes and slow, mournful songs, from which it gets its name. We offer a professional instrument with a closed reed.

The Zhaleika is a very loud instrument. However, even though your neighbors won't be bored, it's entirely possible that you'll cheer them up, and they'll enjoy listening to you. It has six note holes, a closed reed, and a horn-shaped bell.

The key to playing the Zhaleika for a novice musician is to tightly cover the note holes and maintain a steady, even stream of air. This instrument is designed for a man's hand, with holes spaced far apart. The reed is carbon and fixed, with a closed design, meaning you don't need to clamp it with your lips.
