The sabriquet was a type of musical wind instrument. It consisted of a thin cylindrical body with a long thin mouth piece extending from one end. Four perforated metal tabs extended from one side of the body with a fifth tab on the opposite side.[1] In the year 32 BBY,[3] a Bith musician playing as part of a band in the stands of the[2] Mos Espa Grand Arena[1] on the planet Tatooine used a sabriquet during the[2] Boonta Eve Classic[1] podrace.[2]

Behind the scenes

A sabriquet first appeared as a prop in the 1999 prequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. The prop was not named in the film,[2] but received identification in the 2017 reference book Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia.[1] The name of the instrument originated from the 1999 Star Wars Legends reference book Star Wars: Episode I The Visual Dictionary, which was written by David West Reynolds.[4]
