The karnay is a long trumpet with a mouthpiece.It is used in the music of Iran, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, where it is considered a national instrument.
The karnay is a wind musical instrument, which as well as the surnai (Persian: سرنای) was not modernised for ensembles or orchestras and exists in traditional form. It is used particularly for signaling or as a ceremonial instrument with a powerful sound and piercing timbre. There are two kinds of karnay: the muiuz kernei (made from a mountain goat horn), and the jez kernei (made of copper or brass). Both of them are very different instruments, but they are combined by lack of playing apertures.
