Not sure


...what instrument this is but it sounds pretty neat. Icelanders pull off intimate and experimental very well.

hmm, photo isn't very clear but this looks like a normal flute. Might be an alto one though. Where is this? Þjóðmenningarhús?

Yeah, I did not want to use my flash, which is why the picture is not so great. But it was not a normal flute, as far as I know, not only because it was larger, but also because it was almost double up on itself, ie: it had a U shaped curve 1/3 or 1/4 into it.

But seriously, me saying I have not seen that type of musical instrument before is not saying much.

Looks like an alto flute, written in C like a normal flute but sounding in G, a fourth lower.
