Zamr
The term double clarinet refers to any of several woodwind instruments consisting of two parallel pipes made of cane, bird bone, or metal, played simultaneously, with a single reed for each. Commonly, there are five or six tone holes in each pipe, or holes in only one pipe while the other acts as a drone, and the reeds are either cut from the body of the instrument or created by inserting smaller, slit tubes into the ends of the pipes. The player typically uses circular breathing. The double clarinet is not a clarinet in the modern western sense of the term, since it lacks a register key; in this regard it is more closely related to the chalumeau. Varieties Double clarinets are found primarily in Middle Eastern music, but also in India; there are different versions and names in different countries. In Yemen, the double clarinet is called a '' mizmār'' (a word used for other types of instruments in other countries). More common terms are ''zamr'', ''zammāra'', ''arghūl'', ...

In Egypt, the term ''mizmar'' usually refers to the conical shawm that is called ''zurna'' in Turkey and Armenia. ''Mizmar'' is also a term used for a group of musicians, usually a duo or trio, that play a ''mizmar'' instrument along with an accompaniment of one or two double-sided bass drums, known in Arabic as '' tabl baladi'' or simply '' tabl.'' Mizmars are usually played in Egypt at either weddings or as an accompaniment to belly dancers.

In Algeria a similar instrument is called ''ghaita'' or ''rhaita'' (غيطة).Brown, DavidOriental Oboes and Shawmslarkinam.com Along with belly dancing, the mizmar m ...
