Atenteben

Country of Origin: Ghana
Instrument Family: Woodwind

The atenteben is a bamboo flute from Ghana. It has six holes on the top, one on the bottom and a little piece of wood at one end for the musician to blow to produce sound. Although the atenteben was originally used as a traditional musical instrument, it has since been used in modern day and classical music.
