The sybyzgy is a Kyrgyz sideblown flute traditionally played by shepherds and horse herders, made from apricot wood or the wood of mountain bushes. With a length of 600–650 mm.
The traditional sybyzgy had 6 holes, however most modern sybyzgys are made with ten holes. Most modern sybyzgys are also have two separate pieces
The Kazakh term doesn't refer to the Kyrgyz sybyzgy but instead to another instrument, the Tsuur.
On the territory of Kyrgyzstan, there are two types of sybyzgy associated with different performing traditions. The eastern sybyzgy has a conical shape, shorter and smaller in diameter, and the western variety is larger and longer.
The sybyzgy is an important instrument to the Kyrgyz people.
