This kuripe is not pocket size but makes a great ceremonial altar piece. Or maybe just for home use. Its long bamboo pipes give its blow another feel then a normal kuripe. It gives it a longer blow that is easier to pace, more like a one person tepi.

The kuripe is decorated with handmade tribal beadwork from the region. The designs of the beads are originals.
