Bagpipes

a) Tulum
b) Gayda

a) Tulum

Meaning simply "bag," the tulum is encountered chiefly in the Eastern Black Sea, around the cities of Rize, Artvin, Bayburt and Gümüshane. The tulum is sometimes known as "Zurna" as well. Its bag is an animal skin turned inside-out. To one of the legs, the çifte, the five-holed double pipe is attached; to the other a wooden pipe with a leather valve is tied. This is known as the lülük. There are five holes on each of the two pipes, tuned in unison, but they are not played completely in unison; one Side may hold a drone for the other.

b) Gayda

This bagpipe is played in Thrace. Instead of a pair of reeds, it has a single chanter made of hard wood. The gayda also has a single long drone pipe.
