The horn (Ukrainian: Ріг) - (Rih, Rizhok, Lihava, Cossack Horn, Hornpipe) - is an instrument that was popular in Eastern Ukraine, with between three and six fingerholes, or sometimes none. Usually they were made from a cylindrical reed with a cow's horn to form the bell. The mouthpiece usually has a single reed although occasionally double reed instruments can be found.
