Ney-anbān
Middle Eastern musical instrument / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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",[1] but more specifically can refer to a type of droneless double-chantered bagpipes played in Southern Iran. This is similar to the habbān and jirba played by ethnic Iranians in Bahrain and Kuwait.
