The '''''tulum''''' (or '''''guda''''' (გუდა) in [[Laz language|Laz]]) is a [[musical instrument]], a form of [[bagpipe]] from the Laz region of [[Turkey]]. It is droneless with two parallel chanters, and is usually played by the [[Laz people|Laz]] and [[Hemshin peoples]] and by [[Pontic Greeks]], particularly Chaldians. It is a prominent instrument in the music of [[Pazar, Rize|Pazar]], [[Hemşin]], [[Çamlıhemşin]], [[Ardeşen]], [[Fındıklı, Rize|Fındıklı]], [[Arhavi]], [[Hopa]], some other districts of [[Artvin]] and in the villages of the Tatos range (the watershed between the provinces of [[Rize Province|Rize]] and [[Trabzon Province|Trabzon]]) of [[İspir]]. It is the characteristic instrument of the [[transhumant]] population of the northeastern provinces of [[Anatolia]] and, like the [[Kemençe of the Black Sea|kemençe]] in its area, the ''tulum'' imposes its style on all the dance and entertainment music of those for whom it is "our music".<ref>Picken, Laurence.
