The set made out of Egyptian hollow reeds with a copper wire band on both ends. Sizes from 26″ to 9.5″ Aprox. (66 cm. – 24 cm.). This kawala is made from a straight open-ended stalk of aged reed with three segments articulated by two nodes, which must be bored out to make a cylindrical bore. In comparison to the Egyptian nāy, the kawala is shorter and has a wider bore. The rim at one end of the stalk is beveled to a sharp edge, which serves as the target of the air stream provided by the performer; it is therefore an end-blown flute. The instrument has six finger holes and, on the reverse side, one thumb hole. A band of copper wire just below the beveled rim discourages the splitting of the reed.
