The trembita is a type of an alpine horn made of wood. It is common among Ukrainian highlanders Hutsuls who live in western Ukraine. Trembita is the world’s longest musical instrument, with a length ranging from 3 to 8 meters. It is a male instrument because it is extremely difficult to play.

Which means “hell” in Ukrainian.
