According to Francesca Davis Di Piazza, »Kuwait in pictures« (Minneapolis, 2006), p.154, the Habban is a traditional Bedouin instrument in Kuwait; NB¹: Due to the rather limited view offered by Google Books, I was unable to verify the claim that "In Kuwait, the term habban refers to the traditional Holi (Arabs from the eastern coast of the Persian gulf) bagpipe" (➺ Wikipedia, source [3]); NB²: According to Sayyed Hamid Hurreiz, »Folklore and folklife in the United Arab Emirates« (London & New York, 2002), p.183, "the word "ḥabbān" in Persian means bag"; Quoting the same source, Wikipedia (➺ [2]), oddly states, however, that "the term is drawn from Hanbān (هنبان) [sic], the Persian word for "bag."; NB³: ➺ Hibbān (UAE).
