Wiki / Instruments / Qawwal
Qawwal: Qawwal or the circle of is one-sided membrane sounds that play a significant role in the positions of Ashig music and Moghamat. Its structure is different from the rest of the membrane instrument in several cases. It is smaller in size than the rest of the family of percussion instruments. Its frame or body is thicker than other circular instruments in different areas. The frame, like the others, is not integrated and is made of multiple pieces of wood that are placed side by side. Due to its different structure, its execution technique is much more complex and difficult than other instruments of the same family. Appearance: In the old days, the frame was made in one piece and made of round belts or wooden boards of medium thickness. The wood used is mostly Tabriz tree or grape vine and scion. Qawwal skin was made of the skins of male goats, fish, deer and goats. In the last two decades, they have used multiple pieces of wood to make the frame, and it is not integrated. The sticks are placed parallel to each other in two, three or four rows, including six to twelve pieces of wood. Today, 48, 60, 72, and even 220 pieces of wood are also made; However, the number of sticks has no effect on sound quality. The wood used is mostly walnut, mulberry, oak, maple and spruce, and the skin is made of male goat, matte or clear plastic. Around the inner edge of the frame individual or double rings made of iron metal are hugged at regular intervals. Executive technique: Qawwal ‘s executive technique is far more complex than that of his family. A variety of ping pongs, hints and tweaks in all three central, middle and side areas are right-handed techniques. Among the techniques of the left hand, we can mention the use of the middle and side area, small types with the accompaniment of the right hand and the pointed hand. administration Ashighi Music: Ashiq is also one of the repertoire sections of Azeri music performed by Ashiq along with Balaban.
