The Zurna is a type of horn used in Turkish folk music, which, like
the mizmar, is a member of the oboe family of musical instruments. It is
pronounced "ZERN uh". It produces a loud tone that is particularly
well-suited to ethnic-style music and dance.

This is what I own. Primitive. I think what's in the image is a modern
version. Don't know what it's called but I'll find out!

The musicians that I listened to in Egypt could really play the heck out of
these things.
