Characteristics
Characteristics
The instrument is made from a 15–30 cm length of the angelica plant (fadno, the term for one-year-old angelica), from which the instrument derives its name. The instrument's reed categorized as an "idioglottic concussion reed", meaning the reed is fashioned from the tube itself. Fadnos were played with Sami drums together with joik.
