Quanoun
The quanoun is a musical instrument made from wood and features sculpture and decoration.
The traditional North African quanoun includes 17 maqamat (notes) for 51 strings.
Also used in the Middle East, it holds an important place among the instruments specific to traditional Arabic scholarly music.
During the game, the instrumentalist places the quanoun horizontally in front of him, either on his folded knees or on a table.
We appreciate the solo of the quanoun when he accompanies the singer in the prelude.
