https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galoubet
Le galoubet by Patrick le Provençal (Patrick ROUGEOT):C’est un instrument que l’on retrouve dans de nombreux pays depuis le moyen âge (Espagne, Italie, Pays-Bas, Autriche, Allemagne, Irlande, …) mais le terme galoubet date de 1723. Le modèle le plus utilisé en Provence est celui en Si naturel appelé “ton de St Barnabé”.
Cette flûte à bec percée de trois trous (deux dessus et un dessous) permet le jeu de la seule main gauche tandis que la main droite peut frapper le tambourin. Malgré le nombre réduit de trous, le galoubet peut couvrir une douzième, c’est-à-dire un octave et demi. En faisant varier l’intensité du souffle, on peut obtenir plusieurs notes avec un même doigté. La longueur totale d’un galoubet dans le ton de St Barnabé est d’environ 36 cm.
Les bois les plus utilisés pour la fabrication des galoubets sont l’Ebène, le Buis, la Palissandre et l’Olivier.

More about Manickam Yogeswaram | Review >>
Yogeswaran’s music is steeped in the Temple traditions of South India.
He is a disciple of Padmabushan Sangitha Kalanidhi Sri T V Gopalakrishnan.
Yogeswaran performs worldwide: from traditional “Carnatic” formats (accompanied by violin, mirdangam, kanjira and tambura) to orchestras just as in musicals and in the context of Western contemporary music.
As noted by Indian and Western reviewers, his concerts are marked by a rear blend of creativity, virtuosity and high emotive quality.
He was the first ever Tamil voice in Hollywood.
