Product Information

This pack includes a variety of playing styles and expressions to capture the true sounds and characteristics of the instrument. Each sample is meticulously recorded so the subtleties of the strings and percussive nature come through. This product includes one-shots, loops at various tempos, and free of tempo phrases to help inspire you.

This diverse instrument can be used on its own or accompanying other instruments. As an accompanying instrument, the Qanun can add subtle melodic phrasing or even lead. With its distinct tones and microtones, you can hear the exotic eastern sound.

The history of the Qanun goes back to around to the 10th century, perhaps evolving from the Egyptian harp and is often considered to be Arab although many variations exist throughout the Middle East. For even more authentic vibes, try using it with the Oriental Ney or Desert Oud, with some Arabic percussion.
