The Launeddas is a folk instrument from southern Sardinia, an island off the coast of Italy. It has three slender cane pipes of different lengths. Like the clarinet, each pipe has a single vibrating reed. The three reeds are held in the mouth at once and a continuous stream of sound is produced by breathing in through the nose while blowing out through the mouth, a technique called circular breathing. The effect is a rich burbling sound, which is full of energy.
