It is known as "larchemi" in Samegrelo and "soinari" in Guria, but there is no difference in the instrument;[1] those in Guria may be smaller.
The larchemi was in the past found also in Abkhazia, Imereti and Lazeti (where it was called ostvinoni).
By 1958, when it was studied by Kakhi Rosebashvili, it had largely disappeared.
[2] The larchemi consists of a row of six reed pipes.
The instrument can be played by two performers, who take three pipes each.
