Bajoran woodwind instrument

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

A Bajoran woodwind instrument

The Bajoran woodwind instrument was an instrument not unlike an Earth clarinet or oboe.

The Bajoran Varani was a master of the instrument and gave a small performance in Quark's in 2370. Before the Bajoran Occupation he had played in such venues as the Jalanda Forum. He gave a holographic recording of that performance as a gift to the Skrreea woman Haneek. (DS9: "Sanctuary")

Instrument design sketch

During the Bajoran Gratitude Festival held aboard Deep Space 9 in 2371, a trio of Bajoran musicians gave a performance on the upper level of the Promenade. One of the musicians played the woodwind instrument. (DS9: "Fascination")

The instrument would also occasionally be played during services in the Bajoran temple aboard the station (DS9: "Resurrection"). It was also known to exist in the mirror universe. (DS9: "Crossover")

This instrument might be the belaklavion that Ro Laren mentions in TNG: "Preemptive Strike".
