A mantoura from Crete, a reedpipe. The sounding reed is visible at the top.

The mantura or mandoura (Greek: μαντούρα, pronounced [maˈnduɾa]), is a Greek wind musical instrument played in Crete.[1][2] It has 4 to 6 holes for the fingers and produces sound with the help of the reed (created by a split in the sidewall).[1] The mantura is very widespread in Crete and the Greek islands.[citation needed]

Askomandoura, chanters for a bagpipe designed to be attached to a bag as part of a bagpipe. These use the word mandoura in their name; the relationship needs clarified, but both instruments are a type of reed pipe. The reeds are internal in the bagpipe.
