Fadno

The fadno is a reed instrument of the Sami people (also known as "Lapp") of Scandinavia. The instrument features a reed and three to six (generally four) fingerholes, and appears to have no parallels among the surrounding Scandinavian peoples.

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. The instrument's reed is unusual, categorized as an "idioglottic concussion reed".

Fadnos were played with Sami drums together with joik.
