Strange, I could have sworn we discussed this when I uploaded my pictures from the exhibition. But maybe it was in the chat room. At least, I don't find a dupe. However, I see they improved the lighting in that section since I was there. – bitmask Dec 19 '12 at 3:41

@bitmask Yeah, it was in the chat room. Since I find the information interesting, and we eliminated the GR rule, I decided to post the questions and the answer. – DavRob60 Dec 19 '12 at 3:47

1Well, the old 80's action figure had a snake around his neck. Does that count? – Omegacron Feb 13 '15 at 19:57
It's a blissl, a musical instrument similar to a pan flute.
This information was revelled the February 28, 2002 on starwars.com's Ask the Lucasfilm Jedi Council. The original page is unavailable, but it's archived here :

1misc.thefullwiki.org/Blissl_tuner mentions that a tuner exists for them, and that they were used on Tattoine. Wonder where he got the blissl, one does. – Solemnity Dec 24 '12 at 10:19
