Fadno
A picture of 2 fadnos.
Fadno is a reed instrument and domestic flute made from Lapland angelica plants of the Sami people (also known as "Lapp") of Scandinavia.[1] The instrument features a reed and three to six (generally four) fingerholes[2] and appears to have no parallels among the surrounding Scandinavian peoples.[3]
Angelica Plant
- The instrument is made from a 15-30cm length of the angelica plant (fadno, the term for one-year-old angelica), from which the instrument derives its name.[4] The instrument's reed categorized as an "idioglottic concussion reed,"[5] meaning the reed is fashioned from the tube itself.[6] Fadnos were played with Sami drums together with joik.
