Wikipedia: The kaval is a chromatic end-blown flute traditionally played throughout Azerbaijan, Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia, southern Serbia (кавал), northern Greece (καβάλι or dzhamara), Romania (caval), and Armenia (Բլուլ or blul). The kaval is primarily associated with mountain shepherds throughout the Balkans and Anatolia and in the book Kaval: Traditional Folk Melodies for Balkan & Anatolian Folk Flute, author Pat MacSwyney suggest that the kaval spread with the Yoruks from the Taurus mountains of southern Turkey into the southern Balkans of southeast Europe. Unlike the transverse flute, the kaval is fully open at both ends, and is played by blowing on the sharpened edge of one end.
