唢吶又名琐 、唆吶、苏尔奈或金口角,是一种来自于伊斯兰地区 (包括伊朗、美索不达米亚及叙利亚) 的乐器。唢吶很快地就在阿拉伯的占领地区上风行了起来。刚开始,阿拉伯人将它放在军中乐队使用,然后过了不久,他们用它来迎接重要贵宾、宣布朝圣开始及庆祝其他的重要庆典。今天的唢吶仍然代表了一种民族乐器,伊斯兰地区、希腊、塞普勒斯及亚美尼亚主要用它来演奏节庆乡村音乐。唢吶的现代版本为双簧管,而双簧管是交响乐团的主要乐器。


The zurna, also known as the surna, is an instrument from Islamic areas including Iran, Mesopotamia, and Syria. The popularity of the zurna quickly spread through areas conquered by the Arabs. The Arabs first used it in military bands, and later used it to greet important persons, mark the beginnings of pilgrimages, and in other important ceremonies. Today the zurna still exists as a folk instrument used mainly in festive village music in Islamic areas, as well as Greece, Cyprus, and Armenia. The modern day version of the zurna is the oboe, which is a staple of any symphony orchestra.
