There are several bagpipes of the Middle East and Persian Gulf, with local cultural differences. There are several Arabic terms for the bagpipes, including habbān (هبان), jirbah (جربة).[1] It is similar to the (Persian) ney-anbān.

Habbān

The habbān (or hibbān[2]) is a type of bagpipe used in the coastal regions of the Persian Gulf (especially Bahrain, Palestine, and Kuwait). The term is drawn from Hanbān (هنبان), the Persian word for "bag".[3] In Gulf states the term habban refers to the traditional Holi (inhabitants of the eastern coast of the Persian Gulf) bagpipe.[4]

While the term itself is generic, in Oman the term habban is used specifically for a nativized variant of the Great Highland bagpipe that has been incorporated into local music.[5]

Jirba

The jirba (Arabic: قربة (also spelled جربة; also transliterated dzirba, girba) is a traditional folk instrument from Bahrain and Kuwait. It is a droneless, double-reeded, single-chantered bagpipe, played particularly by ethnic Iranians, as well as on the Kuwaiti island of Faylaka. The bag is usually made from the skin of a goat, and filled with air via the mouth. The lower part of the bag is attached to a wooden flute like instrument which has either 4 or 6 holes. The two reeds are positioned side by side which produce a harmonious double note.

Ney-anbān

Ney-anbān (Persian: نی انبان, numerous Latin spellings), is a type of bagpipe which is popular in southern Iran, especially around Bushehr. The term ney-anban literally means "bag pipe",[6] but more specifically can refer to a type of droneless double-chantered bagpipes played in Southern Iran. In Bushehr, the ney-anban is used to accompany sarva, the singing of free-metre couplets.[7]

Orthography

Latin spelling of the name of this pipe include: ney-hanbān, ney-anbun, ney ammbooni, nai-ambana hanbun, hanbuneh, nay-anban.[8]
