This is a bagpipe like instrument typically played by the Laz people. The Laz people are a small ethnic group in Turkey from the South East of the Black Sea. The area was formerly called Lazistan as part of the Ottoman Empire but is now the two Turkish provinces of Rize and Artvin. There is a strong Laz community in Istanbul. They bring with them their music, notably the Guda.
