Characteristics

The instrument is made from a 15–30 cm length of the angelica plant (fadno, the term for one-year-old angelica), from which the instrument derives its name.[3] The instrument's reed categorized as an "idioglottic concussion reed",[4] meaning the reed is fashioned from the tube itself.[5] Fadnos were played with Sami drums together with joik.
