Mijwiz

The mijwiz (Arabic: مجوز‎, DIN: miǧwiz) is a traditional Middle East musical instrument popular in Palestine, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.

[1][2] Its name in Arabic means "dual", because of its consisting of two, short, bamboo pipes with reed tips put together, making the mijwiz a double-pipe, single-reed woodwind instrument.

The mijwiz is most popular today in the Levant (Lebanon, Syria and Jordan).

One example is the famous Lebanese dabke song "Jeeb el Mijwiz ya Abboud" (Arabic: جيب المجوز يا عبّود‎) by the singer Sabah.

However, in the case of the mijwiz, the cheeks of the player with their circular breathing act like the bag that contains the air in a bagpipe.
