Does anyone know anything about the capabilities of telenka? There was one used in the Ukrainian song that won the Eurovision Pong Contest, as seen in the picture at the top of this page: https://www.classicfm.com/music-news/ka ... urovision/. There are no fingerholes in it, and all I've found so far about playing one is Wikipedia's: "The pitch produced from the instrument is changed by placing a finger into the open end of the pipe, and covering this opening by a half or third etc. and also by the strength of the player's breath."

Thanks - that led me to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3v_sKo ... el=harevis with an extensive demonstration of what it can do, and they call it an overtone flute there. I saw the Eurovision one and assumed it was just a fake flute, but I now see it's real.
