Popis:

The Tulnic is a musical instrument with tubular shape, open at both ends, the musician blowing to the narrowest end. The musical instrument has a length between 1,5 m and 3 m.

The tulnic is a archaic musical instrument used in Apuseni Mountains for calls to battle, it signaled fires or it simply played for cheer. The years passed by, the history changed and the tulnic, just like so many other objects in the rural household has lost its functionality.

Today, those who can still pass on the secret of making tulnics to future generations are very few. Those who know how to make them “sing” are also very few and they are generally women.

The wood from which the instrument is made is called "fulgeris", a kind of spruce grown on mountains with a fiber structure that allows for easy modeling.

The first step in making the tulnik consists  of cleaning and longitudinally cutting from large diameters to small, in a prism shape, then dried at room temperature, away from the sun. Further, the wood is brought to the external form of the tulnic that we see, with the help of a iron tool and the last part of the process is the one where the juniper canes are used to tie the tulnic and then it can be decorated.
