Zummarah-bi-soan

The zummárah-bi-soan (or sumara-el-kurbe) is a type of small Egyptian double-chantered[1] bagpipe made from a goatskin. An 1871 Western source noted that it is "sometimes, but rarely, seen in Egypt."[2] The South Kensington museum also noted the term zouggarah as an Egyptian Arabic term for a bagpipe.[3]
