Although the term albogues (from Arabic al-buk, trumpet) can be used to designate some Idiophones simple, its use more widespread divider various types of single reed instruments, wind instruments, and tubes of flag bearing Sound amplifier.

All have one or two tubes albogues Cylindrical Sound of drill, but in many cases and curiously cut on the outside is square. Usually cane or wood and sometimes of bone. In one end is inserted made of bamboo reeds, or straw of cereal Ramit wood. That has to Practica a longitudinal separating Print That vibrates the air passage. It's the sound of the instrument body.

At the other end of the tube presents SERVE that flag of the amplifier, is conical, truncated verticals inserted and the place where the rest of the instrument is docked, or made of a piece with that.The pavilion is bark Manufacture of vegetable, but the wood ... bull or cow horn, for acoustic and morphological characteristics Addition is the material used for more that role. Work with the horn is Easy, is shock resistant, durable, properly lowered, takes excellent sonic characteristics. In addition, elaborate decorations is to benefits.

Albogues Some also have another piece, or even of wood horn that protects there tabs at times when the area serves as a container of the instrument performance techniques required. Although almost all albogues can be found in Africa, Europe and parts of Asia, there are plenty of them in North Africa and the Middle East, where we can find instruments in all shapes and sizes.

The notable exception are the major Alboka, That instrument has been preserved and enhanced in Euskadi (Not long ago is also played in Cantabria, Navarra and La Rioja), thanks to some Constructors, musicians and scholars has been able to save even more, and improved integrated groups in music.

Traditionally companion is the morphology and presents a special tambourine. It cane back tubes (the former has some copies of stork of leg bone), 3 and 5 That have holes respectively, subject between' turn bonded together by wax there you have a wooden semicircular call yoke (Similar to some prints have the Cantigas). The decoration of this piece equivalent to a signature of the constructor, the respite that Manufacture all copies. Back to horn pieces of the flag is placed, the largest and protector - the lowest Receptacles, and the first is subject only by a few nails or embedded (to be a chain to the yoke to avoid losing it), the second is sealed with wax, since it performs a function of outlet air with the mouth of instrumentalist, the stink of Interpretation technique requires a continuous murmur area (like the many That albogues North), whose mastery requires practice and exercise of breathing. The fingering is closed, ie, only uncovering that position corresponds to the other and blocking the two tubes at a time, which produces nice effects when the number of different holes in one another than in the notes accompanying right acute tube is the most serious of the left.
