The mantura or mandoura (Greek: μαντούρα, pronounced [maˈnduɾa]), is a Greek wind musical instrument played in Crete.
[1][2] It has 4 to 6 holes for the fingers and produces sound with the help of the reed (created by a split in the sidewall).
[1] The mantura is very widespread in Crete and the Greek islands.
