Algoze is a pair of Punjabi woodwind musical instruments that is adopted by Sindhi Rajasthani and Baloch folk musicians. The musical instrument is also called Jorhi, Do Nally or Ngoze. The musical instrument is analogous to a pair of wooden flutes. The player of the instrument plays it by using three fingers on each side of the instrument. The sound of the instrument is produced by breathing into the instrument rapidly; the fast recapturing of breath on each beat manufactured a bouncing and swing rhythm.

Generally, the algoze is used as a folk musical instrument and Punjabi folk musicians use the musical instrument to play traditional music like Jind Mahi, Mirza and Jugni. The musical instrument is also a popular choice among the United Kingdom musicians for making modern day Bhangra music and figures as a crucial musical instrument in Rajasthani and Baloch folk music. The most popular players of this musical instrument are the Sindhi musicians (Late) Ustad Khamisu Khan, (Late) Ustad Misri Khan Jamali as well as Akbar Khamisu Khan (Khamisu Khan's son). Gurmeet Bawa (from Punjab) is yet another major player of the musical instrument that used the instrument in her songs.
