Flutes are used to accompany ceremonies in close association with local languages that are tonal and match rhythmical language patterns. It is reported that flutes such as this are played in competitions held during planting when the male who had finished his parcel would blow on his flute for recognition as the best farmer. Flutes are widely traded and therefore often difficult to attribute to one group or another.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://wmic.net/gurunsi-bronze-flute-b-2/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://wmic.net/gurunsi-bronze-flute-b-2/" rel="nofollow">https://wmic.net/gurunsi-bronze-flute-b-2/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
