The Qanun is a beautifully crafted trapezoidal zither, widely played across the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. Known for its crisp, shimmering tones, the instrument features multiple sets of triple strings stretched across ornate wooden panels, adorned with decorative inlays. It is played using picks attached to the fingers, allowing for rapid, expressive passages and microtonal tuning through movable levers. This qanun blends visual elegance with musical precision, making it ideal for both solo performances and ensemble settings. ✔ Handcrafted wooden body with intricate inlay work |
