The sybyzgy (Kyrgyz: сыбызгы, sybyzǵy) is a Kyrgyz sideblown flute traditionally played by shepherds and horse herders, made from apricot wood or the wood of mountain bushes. Length 600–650 mm. The sybyzgy sound scale is estimated from 4 to 6 holes.
On the territory of Kyrgyzstan, there are two types of sybyzgy associated with different performing traditions. The eastern sybyzgy has a conical shape, shorter and smaller in diameter, and the western variety is larger and longer.[1]
The sybyzgy is an important instrument to the Kyrgyz people.
