Is either made of the wood, reed or bamboo and has a length that is about 12 inches and has a range of an octave and a half. This musical instrument which has 8 holes in front of it; with 7 holes made for the playing of the instrument while the other 1 is thumb-hole.  At the upper end there is a metal ring used for the sound adjustment. Most Armenian duduk or zurna players learn to use the shvi before moving on to learn either of the two instruments.
