Jirba

Ney-anbān (Persian: نی انبان ‎‎, numerous Latin spellings), is a type of bagpipe which is popular in southern Iran, especially around Bushehr. The term ney-anban literally means "bag pipe",[1] but more specifically can refer to a type of droneless double-chantered bagpipes played in Southern Iran. This is similar to the Bahrainian jirba played by ethnic Iranians in the Persian Gulf islands.

In Bushehr, the ney-anban is used to accompany sarva, the singing of free-metre couplets.[2]
