From an 11th century text by Avicenna (Full name in Arabic: Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī ibn Sīnā (ca. 980-1037)); NB¹: Referring to Farmer as his source, Baines also mentions Ibn Zayla (Abu Mansur al-Huasyn ben Muhammad ben Umar, ca. 983-1048), who was a pupil and disciple of Avicenna; NB²: According to Wikipedia, Mizmār (مزمار [plural: Mazāmīr (مَزَامِير)]) is in Arabian music "a general term for any single or double reed [sic] wind instrument" [Taking in consideration that the text is supported by a photo of 2 double reeds only (!), this is, in my perception, a rather confusing definition], adding that in Egypt the term usually refers to the conical shawm that is called Zurna in Turkey and Armenia [and SW Bulgaria (!); NB³: In Albania It is called Surleja and in Macedonia Zurla [which in Bulgaria is a synonym of Zurna (ws)].
