It is droneless with two parallel chanters, and is usually played by the Laz, Black sea Turks, Hemshin peoples and by Pontic Greeks, particularly Chaldians. It is a prominent instrument in the music of Pazar, Hemşin, Çamlıhemşin, Ardeşen, Fındıklı, Arhavi, Hopa, some other districts of Artvin and in the villages of the Tatos range (the watershed between the provinces of Rize and Trabzon) of İspir.

Tulum Bagpipes

The tulum consists of a bag (traditionally made from animal skin, such as goat or sheep) and two pipes: a chanter and a drone. The bag acts as a reservoir for air, which is supplied either by mouth or, in some cases, by a bellows. The chanter is the melody pipe, typically with five to seven finger holes, allowing the musician to play various tunes. The drone pipe provides a continuous harmonizing background note. The tulum often has a unique, high-pitched sound compared to other bagpipes.
