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.
