How can you tell a good quality mizmar? I have read good ones are hard to find. Is it the quality of the mizmar or the person playing it ? I just bought two sets but I don't have a clue as to what to do.

Some of the holes were not cut all the way through, so they are covered from the inside.

Thank you this video was most enjoyable. I really like the sound of this instrument....

In Arabic music, a mizmar is any single or double reed wind instrument. In Egypt, the term mizmar usually refers to the conical shawm that is called zurna in Turkey.

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 of one or two double-sided bass drums, known in Arabic as tabl baladi or simply tabl.

In Morocco a similar instrument is called ghaita or rhaita . Along with belly dancing, the mizmar may accompany the dabke, a folkloric line dance done in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iraq.
