The bülban is a historical musical instrument from the Caucasus, Middle East and Central Asia.

[1][2] It was a reed pipe, with an apricot wood body[1] and tipped with a tubular single-reed.

[1] The bore of the instrument is very narrow, and the bell at the bottom has a small hole for the air to flow through.

[2] Other instruments using these tips include the dili tuiduk reed pipe and the ghoshmeh.

[1][2] The instrument is still played, according to a 2004 source, in Khorezm, Uzbekistan, where it is called bulaman, balaman or balaban.
