Abstract

Wind instrument made of flour based foodstuff, such as dried dough for the preparation of pasta, the wind instrument formed as a tubular envelope defining a cavity with two ends, where the first end is open, enabling a user of the wind instrument to blow air into the open end to generate sound while the second end is being sealed, the tubular opening having a labium opening, the second end of the cavity being selectively sealed, such as by a finger of the user, or fixedly sealed, such as during the manufacturing, the tubular envelope having at least one fingerhole that is selectively openable and closeable while the user is blowing air through the open end, enabling adjustment of the tone or tone pitch of the generated sound.
