Kernei
Kyrgyz wind musical instrument, which as well as Surnai was not modernised for ensembles or orchestras and exist in traditional form. This is especially signal or ceremonial instrument with powerful sound of piercing timbre.

They are: Chymyldak - produce squeak, Yshkyryk - whistle, Baryldak - under tongue aerophone, Chynyrtky - hunter's quail call, Jalbyrak - "explosive" aerophone. They are considered as
