Sring
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sring is a shepherd's flute of medieval Armenia. Sring is also the common term for end-blown flutes in general. These flutes are made either of a stroke bone or bamboo or wood from the apricot tree or cane and have seven or eight finger holes, producing a diatonic scale [1]. The Armenian musicologist Komitas believed that the sring is the most characteristic among the Armenian national instruments. It originates from Eastern Armenia (Caucasus region).
