Al-Khallool: the oldest musical
instrument in Yemen
The metre-long khallool may look like a cudgel or
a walking stick, but actually it's a flute. It is played in the Tihama area and has
probably changed little during the last 500 years. There are just two holes - at the far
end of the instrument. [Yemen Times] |
