Another instrument used in Armenian Music and also Arabic music is the Kanoon. This instrument is also very very old. It is played on the lap and plucked with thimble like pics which are placed on the fingers. It resembles very much the inside of the early pianos of the west. It is triangular in shape and produces a timbre very close to the harpsichord. The tones though are much more sophistocated. This is one of my favorite instruments. My mother's mother loved the sound very much and wanted my mom to take lessons...Unfortunately, my mom only got to learn piano. When you hear the faint tender sound.. I think you will agree its sound is unique ;) Here are some songs.
