Regards to you all steemians,

Here's a short description and introduction into the ancient world of the egyptian flute, named "kawla". In the link bellow you can listen a song that i've composed for this amazing instrument, named kawla on our Tribe's album. The name of the composition is Gnawango.

The kawla is an end-blown flute used in arabic/middle eastern music. It is similar to the arabic ney and the turkish ney but has six finger holes, while the ney has seven, including one in the back.

The kawla comes in up to nine different sizes, according to the maqam scales that will be used in the music
