The algaita (also spelled alghaita, algayta or algheita) is a double reed wind instrument[1] from the Sahelian region of West-Central Africa that is used by the Bamum,[2] Hausa and Kanuri peoples in Cameroon and Nigeria. Its construction is similar to the oboe-like rhaita and the zurna. The algaita is distinguished from these other instruments by its larger, trumpet-like bell. Instead of keys, it has open holes for fingering, similar to the zurna.[1]
