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