The csakan is a type of woodwind instrument that was popular in Austria-Hungary in the 19th century.
A type of duct flute, the csakan was originally a recorder crafted in the shape of a walking stick with a mouthpiece in the handle, reflecting the design of Hungarian war hammers which had been converted into flutes. From the 1820s, a new design appeared, which was in the shape of an oboe or clarinet.
