The sring (Armenian: սրինգ, also transliterated as srink) is a shepherd's flute originating in Armenia. Sring is also the common term for end-blown flutes in general.^[1] These flutes are made either of a stork bone, bamboo, wood from the apricot tree or cane and have or eight finger holes, producing a diatonic scale.^[2] The Armenian musicologist Komitas believed that the sring was the most characteristic among the Armenian instruments.

Blul

The blul [hy] instrument is a particular variety of the sring family of flutes. It is often considered a modern evolution of the medieval sring,^[1]^[3] with the primary differences being the presence of ring-shaped zones, both ends being thickened, and the resulting sound being characterized as velvety and slightly muted.^[4]
