The Dozaleh (Persian: دوزَله) is an Iranian folk instrument. The dozaleh is made of two pipes. One of them produces melody and the other harmony. It sounds like a Ney-anbān and it is very dynamic.
The instrument is played in the Middle East among the Kurdish people, and further east it is included in the music traditions of the Tajik and Uzbek peoples.
