em guide the tulnic culture of the romanian apuseni mountains
This article aims to analyse a woodwind instrument found only in the Apuseni Mountains, called tulnic, and the social relations it engages in. A cultural particularity related to this instrument is that, predominantly in the Apuseni region, only women play the tulnic. Another particularity is related to its materiality: its length, thickness, weight, type of wood, the various manufacturing processes it undergoes, the way and space in which it is stored (temperature, humidity, exposure to sunlight), the frequency with which it is used – all these elements constitute an index of the instrument's uniqueness regarding its sound capabilities and ways of usage.
