Purerehua From Cairo

What is a  purerehua?
A purerehua is a maori instrument.Sometimes it is played to welcome a new day or a new born baby.
How does it make sound?
A purerehua is a type of wood shaped like a surfboard tied to a string. When you swing it, it pushes the air particles out of its way. When it is going round and round it pushes the air  particles and it makes sound, which  makes the vibrations.
