Names

The instrument is called Dozaleh (دو زَله) in Kurdistan, from zal (زَل), the Kurdish word for the stem of the zal reed.

The instrument goes by a variety of names in Iran. It is known as Jannati (Persian, "pair": جفتی) in Hormozgan, Do Ney (Persian, "two reeds": دو نی) in Lorestan, Do Sazeh (Persian, "two structures": دو سازه) in South Khorasan Province, and Ghoshmeh (Persian: قوشمه) among Khorasan's Kurdish people.[3]

Ghoshmeh may have come from the tradition of making the instruments from the bones of birds, although one linguist suggests other possibilities, including "pair."[4]

History

Dozaleh or (Donay in Kurdish) is a very old instrument that is one of the first Iranian wind instruments. In Kurdish areas, this instrument is made from a plant called Zaleh, which grows near river.

In modern times, the instrument's body has also been made from aluminum or copper tubes.[2]

This photo shows three different models of dozaleh, the model on the right is made by bone of some animals. The middle dozeleh is for Khorasan region and the photo on the left is for Kurdish regions.

The instrument has been seen as sufficiently important to Iranian culture and history to encourage interest in it, through placement on the Iran National Heritage List. It is placed in works of North Khorasan in the "field of intangible cultural heritage", item 1543: Techniques and skills of making Ghoshmeh local instrument.[5]
