How is the dulzaina played?

The dulzaina is a traditional Spanish woodwind instrument similar to a shawm, typically played in Folk Music contexts. It has a conical bore and is played using a double reed, producing a loud, piercing sound. The player uses finger holes to create different pitches, and the instrument is often accompanied by a drum or other percussion instruments in festive settings. Mastery involves breath control and precise finger movements to navigate its range.
