Thesring (Armenian:սրինգ, also transliterated assrink) is a shepherd's flute originating inArmenia. Sring is also the common term for end-blown flutes in general.[1] These flutes are made either of a stork bone, bamboo, wood from the apricot tree or cane and have or eight finger holes, producing a diatonic scale.[2] TheArmenian musicologistKomitas believed that the sring was the most characteristic among the Armenian instruments.

Blul
editTheblul [hy] instrument is a particular variety of the sring family of flutes. It is often considered a modern evolution of the medieval sring,[1][3] with the primary differences being the presence of ring-shaped zones, both ends being thickened, and the resulting sound being characterized as velvety and slightly muted.[4]
