Double clarinets are found primarily in
Middle Eastern music, but also in
India; there are different versions and names in different countries. In
Yemen, the double clarinet is called a
mizmār. This word is used for other types of instruments in other countries. More common terms are
zamr,
zammāra,
arghūl, and
mijwiz (
مجوز). The first two of these names have the same linguistic root as
mizmār. In
Albania the instrument is called a
zumare. It has five holes in each pipe, and a bell.
Iran has a variety of double clarinets, made from raptor bones,
copper or
aluminum tubing or
wood. The instrument is called
dozaleh (دو زَله) in
Kurdistan, from zal (زَل), the Kurdish word for the stem of the zal reed. The instrument goes by a variety of names in Iran. It is known as
jannati (Persian, "pair": جفتی) in
Hormozgan,
do ney (Persian, "two reeds": دو نی) in
Lorestan,
do sazeh (Persian, "two structures": دو سازه) in
South Khorasan Province, and
ghoshmeh (Persian: قوشمه) among Khorasan's Kurdish people. The
Iraqi double clarinet is also called a
zummāra, although this term also is used for a single-tube simple clarinet. It is similar to the Syrian
mijwiz. The
Yemeni instrument is called a
mizmār. It is attached to the player's mouth using a muzzle. In
Italy, the
Sicilian zampogna bagpipe, also called a
ciaramedda, is additionally referred to as a "doppio clarinetto" (double clarinet), because of its two equal length single reed chanters. A version of this instrument is also played in the
Province of Reggio Calabria. Other single reed, double chanter
bagpipes found in
Southern Italy include the Sordulina and the zampogna "a moderna", both of which are found in Calabria. In the province of
Messina, in the local dialect, the single blade can reed mounted in the instrument's chanters and drones is called a "zammara." In the island of
Ibiza, in the
Balearic Islands of Spain, there is the
