- The skudučiai (a kind of panpipes) is an old musical instrument that was quite popular as far back as the end of the 19th century, especially in Northeast Lithuania, the land of sutartinės.
The skudučiai is a set of pipes of various size, each stopped at the bottom, and played by a group of performers.
The skudučiai is made of young ash wood, 2-3 cm thick and 7-15 cm long. The skudučiai is blown keeping it in a vertical position. The mouth-hole is pressed to the lower lip.
A set of the skudučiai pipes are not tied together and, as a rule, they are blown not by one player but by a group of them. In this way polyphonic music of original harmony of seconds can be produced.
