I believe it's a schalmei. Seems like they have bands of these with percussion in Europe. A YouTube search will reveal that "loud and annoying" may be the most apt description.

It's a reed instrument. You can stick a brass mouthpiece in it but it really sounds best if you use a hammer.

Another declination of the search word gives some more results, but of course there is some overlapping:
