The Lagguti, Lakto, or Laggutu is a Talysh[1] folk percussion slit drum instrument performed in southern regions of Azerbaijan: Lerik, Astara, Lankaran, Masalli and Jalilabad.
Usually, the lagguti is 250x125x50 mm in size and made of walnut, apricot, mulberry or beech wood.
"[2] The thickness of the sides or walls varies, which produces differences in timbre and/or pitch, with the bottom generally being thicker than the top.
In the middle of the 19th century, "lagguti" was used as a musical instrument in the life of the Talysh.
Lagguti as a percussion instrument attracted the attention of researchers of folklore much later - in the 1980s of the twentieth century.
