Fadno
A picture of 2 fadnos.
The fadno is a reed instrument of the Sami people (also known as "Lapp") of Scandinavia. The instrument features a reed and three to six (generally four) fingerholes,[1] and appears to have no parallels among the surrounding Scandinavian peoples.[2]
The instrument is made from a 15-30cm length of the angelica plant (fadno, the term for one-year-old angelica), from which the instrument derives its name.[3] The instrument's reed is unusual, categories as "idioglottic concussion reed".[4]
Fadnos were played with Sami drums together with joik.
