Sopilka (Ukrainian: Cопiлка) is the name of a type of woodwind instruments from the flute family used in Ukrainian folk music.[1]
A sopilka is traditionally made of elderberry wood, but it can also be made of different materials, such as maple, walnut, beech or even plastic.[2] In the past it had from six to eight holes, but it usually has ten since 1970.[1] Sopilka exists in many ranges, such as the prima or soprano (high pitched). The sound system is diatonic.[2]
