The double-reed woodwind instrument with a hardwood body and metal bell and mouthpiece fittings which are finely embellished with foliate bands and lappets, fitted with a metal strap attached by small loops. The removable stylized pirouette in the form of an ornate vessel surmounted by a globular bead and foliate trappings. (2)

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career, Peter Kienzle-Hardt organized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.

The gyaling (literally ‘Indian trumpet’), is a traditional woodwind instrument used in Tibet. As its name indicates, it is the Chinese double reed Suona horn (much like the Iranian sorna) used mainly in Tibetan monasteries during puja (chanting and prayer) and is associated with peaceful deities and the idea of devotion. The reed fits onto the thin metal tube (staple) atop the ornate metal pirouette (disk) that slips into the small end of the wooden tube. A monk takes the reed completely into his mouth and presses his lips against the disk provided above the pirouette's bulbous assemblage.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related gyaling, Tibet, in the Ethnologisches Museum, inventory number VII c 66. Compare a closely related pair of Tibetan shawms, dated c. 1885-1899, in the National Music Museum, South Dakota, object number 02584.
