Key Features
- Shape and Construction: The qanun has a flat, trapezoid-shaped hollow soundbox, typically made from walnut wood.
- Strings: It has 78 strings, arranged in sets of three for each note, though the lowest notes may have two strings.
- Plectra: Players use small, flexible plectra, often worn on the index fingers, to pluck the strings.
- Bridge: The strings pass over a raised bridge supported by a section of fish skin.
- Tuning Levers (Mandals): A complex system of levers, or mandals, allows for quick and precise microtonal adjustments, which are essential for playing various Arab, Turkish, and Armenian musical scales (maqams).
- Sound: The qanun produces delicate, melodious, and expressive tonal qualities, with a large range of 3 octaves and a fifth.
Playing the Qanun
- Posture: The instrument rests on the player's lap or on a table.
- Plucking: The strings are plucked by the plectra on the fingers of the right hand, and the left hand is used to manipulate the tuning levers.
- Versatility: The qanun can be played solo or as part of a traditional ensemble, adapting to a variety of musical styles.
Origin and Cultural Significance
- History: The qanun has a long history, possibly descending from the ancient Egyptian harp and is related to the psaltery and zither.
