Summary/Abstract: The creative spirit of Romanian people has materialized throughout its history in invaluable material and spiritual values; in order to express the joys and longings of their heart, they invented songs and the musical instruments, which reveal their creativity, the artistic taste and the skills of the Romanians. Without a full knowledge of musical instruments by folk creators and performers, it is not possible to understand instrumental folk music. The rediscovery of traditional culture, at a moment when the information explosion of the scientific field seems to penetrate in all domains is very important. Popular tradition is established as a fundamental cultural factor, its complexity requiring the creation of a reference system. The persuasive force of the message, the possibilities of the wind instruments to emanate new sonorities seem unparalleled, but they respond most convincingly to a search for a modern language, characteristic of current compositional creation. The mentioned values determine not only the value appreciation of the wind instruments, but also the spectacular increase of the number of authors who will compose music for these instruments. The variety of music through popular instruments, as well as the huge number of creations collected and studied on scientific grounds, famous instrumental artists have made Romanian music to be recognized worldwide as one of the richest in spirituality.
