een tourist models. The Kugikly (sometimes called kuvikly) are panpipes. They can have anywhere from 1 to 8 pipes, though 2-5 pipes glued together seems to be a common set. (They're not as complex in construction as either the Romanian or full South American types of panpipes.) They seem to be most often played by groups of women. http://www.grovereference.com/Libraries/One type of folk percussion instrument is the spoons. The Russian style of (wooden) spoon-playing is rather a lot different from either American/Appalachian or Balkan traditions. One easy way to start: take two spoons in one hand. Put the first spoon with its tail out between your thumb and index finger, and the food holding "cup" down against your palm. Put the second spoon with its tail between your middle and ring finger, and put those fingers into the "cup" to secure it. Now you have the spoons back to back, so to speak, in one hand, and you can "clack" them by bringing those two middle fingers up and down.The fun part of the Russian style, though, is to add a third spoon. In your other hand. With it (held gently by its tail) you hit one or both of those spoons you're trying to clack together with your other hand. So... it ends up allowing you to do "clack-whap" (or better yet, "whap-whock-clack") polyrhythms, if you can imagine. Treshchotki (pronounced approximately "tri-shOt-ki") are a set of wee boards on a string that get clapped together as a group. The more (and bigger) the boards, the louder the sound. Other percussion instruments I won't delve into further include the "rubel'" (a washboard-affair you scrape a spoon along), various tambourines and bones and drums, and the "circular treshchotka" (which you can probably hear in medieval European music)....
