Hi Maya..I left you a comment on your other video...I'd love to have you play on a piece I wrote. Please let me know if you are able to record remotely. Look forward to hearing from you.
Holy cannelloni, this is amazing! Such an impressive instrument and player. Really liked her song. But can't help but wonder...70-something strings - that'll take a while to tune. And it has levers for changing the pitch and the bridge is mounted on fish skin? That's not helping with keeping in tune, isit? :D
Harry Chrome haha yeah she tuned for about 15 mins before we did the interview! Thanks for watching! And please share with anyone you think would like it, it really helps us a lot :)

Well, I can tell from your surname that you originate from Armenia. I don't know if you live there but I think the qanun is also music instrument used in Armenian Traditional music. If you do live in Armenia, search, find and go for it!
Mocanu Catalin Cristi In Greece in turkey and in Arab countries This the kanonaki or kanon which means the law in Greek comes back from Pythagoras time Μπρας bras in Athens is an instrument manufacturer he makes very good instruments search for him nikolaosbrass.com/index.php?id_cms=4&controller=cms&id_lang=7
It means law because the name is coming from the Greek word "κανόνας'' which has the meaning of law in ancient Greek also the Greek word expressing this instrument is ''κανονάκι" which has the exact same meaning. The origin of this instrument must be from Israel, I am not 100% sure. This kind of music system with sub-notes originates and was established in Byzantium in approx. 800 A.D.
The Greeks first made this and they still use it Ooohhhh Not them again The Arabs play it also well they are a lot of millions and the have very good players Makam for arabs Ήχος for Greeks all the civilized ancient people in east mediteranean adopt it it easy to understand why But even in the west hapened the same is the ancestor of the piano Piano can’t play the trimitons though that you only find in Byzantine and Arabic music until today and canon can play
What about Alexander the Great? Iskender he was Slav in your opinion ? We can write history according to your needs Is something that happens lately especially against Greek history Pythagoras from Babylon and Alexander the Great Slav 😂 and I am an alien
Bayan Izzani guys yes the Arabs play it very well But you find it in Greece since the antiquity until now Κάνων is a Greek word is an ancient instrument that comes from Pythagoras time and all the old ancient civilized people in east mediteranean used to play and everybody is happy

Fady Al Qaisy Peace from Crete the place that Palestinian come from finikas I don’t accept what you say about the word the world used to be alexandrine for centuries nobody could add something in Ancient Greek writes in 1204 the westerns stole from konstantinoupoli the major amount of Ancient Greek writes and the rebirth of culture took place after in Europe based in Ancient Greek wisdom
Her eyes at the end of the piece look like she just came back from another dimension
I love the intense ending of her piece, its amazing right!
It doesnt matter where this instrument comes from. The matter is what we all feel while listenin it
It does matter when people from around the world have never seen this instrument like myself.
Woah that piece at the end is stunning
Maya is in the Songlines awards for best album!! She’s awesome. And what a piece at the end
my favourite musical instrument 🎶 and oh my, playing the Qanun is like a full body exercise.
Just found this channel. Very inclined to bingewatch, thank you ;D
See Ota please do! And if you think of anyone else who would like it, please share. It helps me keep the channel going! ☺️

Maybe the fish skin is from a tuna. Sorry!
@@NigelBond66 Well, you can tune a piano.....
But apparently you can also tuna fish....
Qanun is so beautiful instrument. Is there any tutorial books about it in English?
Eloy Suopunki I'm not sure? Maybe anyone out there who has played might be able to help?
@@robabnawaz Amazon has.........Everything.....
Maya has an online program in English
qanon would love this thing
shes incredible
Isn't the loud level slam click an issue on recordings and performances? 4:44
Kanun comes out from the greek word "Κανών" (Kanoon) that means "Rule". It is based in ancient music theory from mathematician Pythagoras.
Beautiful piece! Keep going..
my favorite string instrument
Great video hope you do oud soon!
Thank you! Yes it's on my list! :)
Wow...amazing ...talent...😍👏👌👍❤
Fun fact: the words qanun and canon, as in "to canonize" come from the same Greek word :)
Nolian Delano
Nope
No its not qanun comes from arabs and its name Qanun Arabic word means Rules .. go away from others identity
@@sofitaezqeo6947 the english word comes from the greek word, which itself comes from the arabic word. The english word was not taken directly from the arabic word. So the statement remains correct

This is psaltirion
Qanun the Greek word is κανων
The law of Pythagoras
Is still in Greek tradition
and the santouri too
Σωστόν αγαπητέ, αν και το Σαντούρι, είναι το Ελληνικο πιάνο μιάς και δεν πιάνει τα ηχομόρια τησ Βυζαντινης...
These instruments are Mesopotamian not Greek
It’s Iraqi, Assyrian, not greek
I WISH I could learn how to play this
Go for it, yo.
Well, I can tell from your surname that you originate from Armenia.
I don't know if you live there but I think the qanun is also music instrument used in Armenian Traditional music.
If you do live in Armenia, search, find and go for it!
@@TheFlyingGreekman yes! I'm Armenian Armenian but I live in USA it's hard to find these here and an instructor.. even harder HA

Greetings from turkey
9th century
The Greeks first made this and they still use it
Ooohhhh
Not them again
The Arabs play it also well
they are a lot of millions and the have very good players
Makam for arabs
Ήχος for Greeks
all the civilized ancient people in east mediteranean adopt it
it easy to understand why
But even in the west hapened the same
is the ancestor of the piano
Piano can’t play the trimitons though
that you only find in Byzantine and Arabic music until today and canon can play
Pythagoras was Greek
yes indeed all the ancient civilizations in east mediteranean shared the same instrument
What about Alexander the Great?
Iskender
he was Slav in your opinion ?
We can write history according to your needs
Is something that happens lately especially against Greek history
Pythagoras from Babylon and Alexander the Great Slav 😂
and I am an alien
Rogin lol
I think he was Chinese ancestor of mao
he used to talk a Greek dialect that people in Samos island used to talk that comes from China with influences from Senegal 🇸🇳 and Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Ηχος και δρόμος...
And I thought Qanun was a "conspiracy theory"
#Kanjostil
Weirdest Backroom Casting Couch video I've seen, for sure.
Hehe you might be on the wrong video streaming website...
...the instument invented at byzantio from hellines .the instument used at church,and based at PYTHAGORAS theory...hellenik word theoria.
correct
It's history is more ancient, it is thought to be originated in Assyria.
Bayan Izzani guys yes the Arabs play it very well
But you find it in Greece since the antiquity until now
Κάνων is a Greek word
is an ancient instrument that comes from Pythagoras time
and all the old ancient civilized people in east mediteranean used to play
and everybody is happy
Fady Al Qaisy
Sorry my friend but the word is κανων
in Greek
and it is the κανων of Pythagoras
Do you know anything about Byzantine music ?
We have the same scales
We call them ήχους which means sounds
and you call them makamss
you are talking to a Greek the Greeks know the divisions in music is in our culture
our religion and traditional music
for thousands of years
This instrument has been found in Ancient Greek places
In Byzantine pictures you can see the same instruments that we use now
Pandouris is bouzouki you can find even in ancient statue in Peloponnesus
Psaltirion kanon you can see it in Byzantine but also is recorded by Pythagoras
Lagouto pictures also in Byzantine icons
The truth is that you arabs have ancient civilization
and deep culture
You delivered and spread Greek knowledge
from Andalusia Spain a lot of Greek writes was delivered by you to the west
you used to be traders and we used to be too
back before centuries while the north west Europeans used to be with not any progress
Fady Al Qaisy
Peace from Crete the place that Palestinian come from finikas
I don’t accept what you say
about the word
the world used to be alexandrine
for centuries
nobody could add something in Ancient Greek writes
in 1204 the westerns stole from konstantinoupoli
the major amount of Ancient Greek writes
and the rebirth of culture took place after in Europe
based in Ancient Greek wisdom
I cringed at the"it's made out of shell of a tortoise" moment as I was watching the video playing with my tortoise..
Kind of like an Arabic Cimbalom.
Could be, although I think the Santur is maybe closer? I know the Santur was played by the Persians, not sure about the Arab-speaking world though...

Turtle shell, fish skin, gut...
