The putorino or bulge-flute is a musical instrument that the maori used to use, also it has a beautiful sound. It has a small opening at the end of both ends for the music to flow out. We learnt a bit of information and facts that we would like to share. Here are some of the facts.The instrument is made from wood. Some putorinos have a beautiful tiki carved by the end you blow into. The putorino has a beautiful voice representing the female ancestor Hineraukatauri. It's sound has been described as the sound of water being poured from a gourd.
I would love to hear this instrument. It sounds very beautiful. Mrs H
