The arghul is a traditional Arabic
musical instrument. The arghul has been used since the ancient Egyptian times
and it is still being used as a traditional musical instrument in Egypt.

The arghul is a double-pipe,
single-reed wood wind musical instrument that is made up of two tubes; a melody
pipe with about 5 to 7 holes and a longer drone pipe. The tone of the musical
instrument is analogous to that of the clarinet, but a bit reedier. Unlike the
analogous mijwiz, the musical instrument has only fingering holes on one of the
pipes of the instrument, and the drone pipe of the instrument has a detachable
length that permits the player of the instrument to change the pitch of the
instrument’s drone.
This musical instrument is player in
Egypt and some other Arabian countries as an accompanying musical instrument to
the belly dancing and some other types of Arabic musical performances. Circular
breathing is a crucial part of the performing of the musical instrument. There
are three types of the arghul; the small arghul, the medium arghul and the
larger version of the musical instrument.
