Introduction to the Arab Native Musical Instrument: Yarghul

The Yarghul (also spelled Yargul or Yarghoul) is a traditional double-pipe woodwind instrument commonly found in the Levant region, particularly in countries such as Jordan, Palestine, Syria, and parts of Lebanon. With ancient roots that trace back to the earliest civilizations of the Middle East, the Yarghul stands as a testament to the rich musical heritage of the Arab world.

Characterized by its distinctive droning sound and simultaneous melody and harmony, the Yarghul is played using a unique technique called circular breathing, allowing the musician to produce continuous sound without interruption. This makes the instrument especially captivating during live performances
