Kayla

A kayla is a small two- or three-note whistle, normally carved from i-ig. They are used culturally wherever the religion of totyut exists but is especially important to the cultures of Phygonia, Urral and Scelta.

Description
Kaylas are small wooden whistles. They feature a rounded hole through which the player blows and a further two or three holes along its top. This instrument is shaped like a square loudspeaker, though the end, open in such speakers, is solid. In some kaylas, there is a hole in the underside of the end of the instrument. This serves no purpose towards the note played but only lets air to escape.

Kaylas are sometimes vividly decorated, often with the wavy, eye-shaped patters associated with good fortune. They are not purposely coloured since Pitlupuli are incapable of seeing in colour.

Use
Kaylas are used in festivals, especially the oslarreatilule which celebrates good fortune. This is because of its symbolism of luck in totyut and the various cultures with strong followings in this religion. For the same reason, they are a popular ulosk nmuloslu choice.

Kaylas are sometimes used for musical purposes, though since they are limited in volume and note ranges they usually serve more of a symbolic purpose once again.
