Mizmars

Mizmars are a traditional wind instrument of ancient Egypt. They are also called Zurnas in Iran, Turkey and among the Kurds. The mizmar is a double-reeded woodwind instrument with seven finger holes that is shaped similarly to a traditional conical oboe. Mizmar is also a term used for a group of musicians, usually a duo or trio, that play a mizmar instrument along with an accompaniment or one or two double sided bass drums. Mizmars are usually played in Egypt at either weddings or as an accompaniment to belly dancers.
