:: Wind Instrument - Pilili
Pilili is used in Adjara. It accompanies dances and comic songs. During dances, the pilili is played with a doli, in comic songs - with vocals. Main parts: the trunk and mouthpiece. The trunk is a pipe of 25-30cm in length. It has 5-7 keys. The mouthpiece is a small pipe, the length of which depends on the sound needed. The trunk is cut out of plum-tree and elder. Formerly, the mouthpieces were also made of elder, but today bamboo is used. The Pilili has a diatonic scale of one octave.
