Wind instruments occupy a special place in the folk instrument orchestra. They help to convey notes of sadness, sadness and tenderness, and besides, unrestrained fun and joy while performing a piece of music.
The folk orchestra combines percussion instruments (tambourine, bells, rattles, bells, timpani, spoons), balalaikas, button accordions, domras, gusli and wind instruments (oboe, flute, bagpipes, flute, pity, horn). The group of wind instruments included in the orchestra is very numerous, its composition varies depending on the musical work performed or depends on the ethnic group or people to which the orchestra belongs.
