Qanun

Description

The stringed qanoon is shaped like a trapezoid and is played resting on the musician’s lap with two picks. The early qanoon had 26 sets of triple strings, and a player achieved sharps, flats and microtones by playing with the left thumb. But in the early 20th century, sets of levers called mandals that could be flipped up and down were introduced so that a performer could more easily produce sharps, flats and quarter tones not found in Western music.

Note: Price: 1000 SAR per day.
