Arġūl ġāb

Transliteration in Elsner/Jabès, who translate the term as "Rohr / Schilfrohr" (cane), mentioning the name among the "various sizes and varieties", but unfortunately fail to provide essential details; NB¹: Oddly, the authors refer, however, to this name again (on the same page!), though in another context, in which they define it as "a term for small (up to 75 cm long) double-clarinets with unequal pipes with a Masḥūra mouthpiece"; NB²: ➺ Sibs / Sibz and Sibs ġāb.
