Look to this one its so good ..kzbin.info/www/bejne/i17Zq3aZq5x_gqM

Very nice! ♥ In the mediterranean island of Sardinia, we have a double pipe instrument made of canes, we call it "Benas", and it's very similar to Mijwiz. We also have "Launeddas", which is very similar to the Egyptian Argoul, only difference being that the Argoul has 2 pipes (1 chanter, 1 drone) while the Sardinian one has 3 pipes, 2 chanters and 1 drone. In ancient times, ancient Sardinians visited Egypt and I have the feeling we did share some culture, especially musical instruments (proof is that we also found Egyptian amulets and inscriptions in Sardinia, and Sardinian warriors are depicted also in the Karnak temple in Egypt :) ).

Very interesting! Its always good to hear of similar instruments around the world. Fascinating how they get about.

Because sardignia was a part of the fatimide califat

[@tziuriky86]

@@musbahkhalilal-baccari6488 That never happened. Muslims were never able to conquer Sardinia (don't confuse it with Sicily). Also Launeddas in Sardinia have been around for over 2800 years, well before any arabic and muslim expansion in the mediterranean sea ;-)

@@tziuriky86 no sardinia was a part of fatimid califat for a few years

It's also possible that the Phoenicians brought the mijwiz and arghoul to Sardinia, where it evolved into the benas and launeddas. The Phoenicians traded all over the Mediterranean.

Sounds like malaysian traditional instrument called serunai

[@RecordingEarth]

You're right! Just without the two pipes. I've seen the serunai in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and India as well, although they have different names for it. In Azerbaijan it's called zurna, but it's pronounced 'surnai'. It must be a product of the silk road!

In Iraq and Jordan, we call this the “zummara” (Arabic: زوماره)

[@jsaleh415]

that higer note is at E sounds kinda off maybe cause its made of iron instead of wood

[@SerrvantX]

no he is using his voice to make it growl

[@diabl2master]

If you mean it sounds "out of tune"... every single not is "out of tune" by the western standard of 12TET or even just intonation

[@dbadagna]
