Näverlapp
The näverlapp ("birch bark patch") is a very primitive Swedish folk instrument consisting of a thin piece of birch bark, two or three centimeters square. This piece, which has a rounded top, is placed between the lip and the lower teeth; when a thin stream of breath is blown over the piece of bark, it produces a clear, strong tone akin to a clarinet but with less range (about one and a half octaves). As the patch of birch becomes soaked with saliva, which it does after a few minutes, it begins to sound worse and worse.

gollark: I may convince my parentoids to allow purchase of a superior domain at some point however.
gollark: I use Freenom for free domains, so It's more like "you get it for free as long as you make sure to renew it within 2 weeks of expiry and you avoid them noticing you".
gollark: No idea!
