Maya is in the Songlines awards for best album!! She’s awesome. And what a piece at the end

[@melikeclkd5279]

It doesnt matter where this instrument comes from. The matter is what we all feel while listenin it

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

It does matter when people from around the world have never seen this instrument like myself.

Holy cannelloni, this is amazing! Such an impressive instrument and player. Really liked her song. But can't help but wonder...70-something strings - that'll take a while to tune. And it has levers for changing the pitch and the bridge is mounted on fish skin? That's not helping with keeping in tune, isit? :D

[@TheStringdom]

Harry Chrome haha yeah she tuned for about 15 mins before we did the interview! Thanks for watching! And please share with anyone you think would like it, it really helps us a lot :)

[@NigelBond66]

Maybe the fish skin is from a tuna. Sorry!

I WISH I could learn how to play this

[@viridian_meridian]

Go for it, yo.

[@TheFlyingGreekman]

Well, I can tell from your surname that you originate from Armenia. I don't know if you live there but I think the qanun is also music instrument used in Armenian Traditional music. If you do live in Armenia, search, find and go for it!

[@KevinBolsajian]

@@TheFlyingGreekman yes! I'm Armenian Armenian but I live in USA it's hard to find these here and an instructor.. even harder HA

[@ahepanafpaktou4527]

Kanun comes out from the greek word "Κανών" (Kanoon) that means "Rule". It is based in ancient music theory from mathematician Pythagoras.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

Fun fact: the words qanun and canon, as in "to canonize" come from the same Greek word :)

[@somanoma6465]

Nolian Delano Nope

[@sofitaezqeo6947]

No its not qanun comes from arabs and its name Qanun Arabic word means Rules .. go away from others identity

[@iamspencerx]

@@sofitaezqeo6947 the english word comes from the greek word, which itself comes from the arabic word. The english word was not taken directly from the arabic word. So the statement remains correct

[@dioimam15]

the way it sound its like oud but with metal strings. but sound beautiful

[@mocanucatalincristi136]

hello, where can i buy such an instrument ?

[@apmikalogran]

Greetings from turkey

[@TheFlyingGreekman]

It means law because the name is coming from the Greek word "κανόνας'' which has the meaning of law in ancient Greek also the Greek word expressing this instrument is ''κανονάκι" which has the exact same meaning. The origin of this instrument must be from Israel, I am not 100% sure. This kind of music system with sub-notes originates and was established in Byzantium in approx. 800 A.D.

[@apmikalogran]

9th century

...the instument invented at byzantio from hellines .the instument used at church,and based at PYTHAGORAS theory...hellenik word theoria.

[@robabnawaz]

correct

[@korayyy440]

It's history is more ancient, it is thought to be originated in Assyria.

[@apmikalogran]

Bayan Izzani guys yes the Arabs play it very well But you find it in Greece since the antiquity until now Κάνων is a Greek word is an ancient instrument that comes from Pythagoras time and all the old ancient civilized people in east mediteranean used to play and everybody is happy

[@apmikalogran]

Fady Al Qaisy Sorry my friend but the word is κανων in Greek and it is the κανων of Pythagoras Do you know anything about Byzantine music ? We have the same scales We call them ήχους which means sounds and you call them makamss you are talking to a Greek the Greeks know the divisions in music is in our culture our religion and traditional music for thousands of years This instrument has been found in Ancient Greek places In Byzantine pictures you can see the same instruments that we use now Pandouris is bouzouki you can find even in ancient statue in Peloponnesus Psaltirion kanon you can see it in Byzantine but also is recorded by Pythagoras Lagouto pictures also in Byzantine icons The truth is that you arabs have ancient civilization and deep culture You delivered and spread Greek knowledge from Andalusia Spain a lot of Greek writes was delivered by you to the west you used to be traders and we used to be too back before centuries while the north west Europeans used to be with not any progress

[@apmikalogran]

Fady Al Qaisy Peace from Crete the place that Palestinian come from finikas I don’t accept what you say about the word the world used to be alexandrine for centuries nobody could add something in Ancient Greek writes in 1204 the westerns stole from konstantinoupoli the major amount of Ancient Greek writes and the rebirth of culture took place after in Europe based in Ancient Greek wisdom

[@apmikalogran]

The Greeks first made this and they still use it Ooohhhh Not them again The Arabs play it also well they are a lot of millions and the have very good players Makam for arabs Ήχος for Greeks all the civilized ancient people in east mediteranean adopt it it easy to understand why But even in the west hapened the same is the ancestor of the piano Piano can’t play the trimitons though that you only find in Byzantine and Arabic music until today and canon can play

[@apmikalogran]

Pythagoras was Greek yes indeed all the ancient civilizations in east mediteranean shared the same instrument

[@apmikalogran]

What about Alexander the Great? Iskender he was Slav in your opinion ? We can write history according to your needs Is something that happens lately especially against Greek history Pythagoras from Babylon and Alexander the Great Slav 😂 and I am an alien

Kind of like an Arabic Cimbalom.
