| Look: | The chalumeaux has a single reed bound to the mouthpiece with a golden ring held in place by a screw. Its cylindrical bore flares out to a modest bell to amplify the sound, while eight gold-trimmed finger-holes allow the musician to vary the notes. The instrument is a traditional part of any ship's band in the River Elf clans, as the bright sound carries well over the water. |

Recall
An instrument from Elven culture, the chalumeaux is favored particularly by River Elves. The chalmeaux is a single-reed woodwind instrument, with a cylindrical bore featuring eight tone holes -- seven in front and one in back for the thumb. The mouthpiece is wide by design and the reed is held in place by a metal ring. Chalumeaux are traditionally made of wood, however pieces made entirely of metal are not unknown to the River Elves as they tend to carry sound better over the roar of rushing water.
