Rih (instrument)
The rih (Ukrainian: ріг, "horn"; Russian: рожок[1]) is an instrument that was popular in Eastern Ukraine and Russia, with between three and six fingerholes. Usually they were made from a cylindrical reed with a cow's horn to form the bell. The mouthpiece usually has a single reed although occasionally double reed instruments can be found.
