About Nguru:

Nguru are flutes carved in the natural shape of a whale tooth. They are played by mouth or by using the nostrils to produce haunting and melodious tones that invoke the voice of Hineraukatauri, the female ancestral spirit of Maori music.  They were often played at times of great sorrow, such as tangihanga (funerals).
