Kawala - A flute played in Arabic and Turkish music. The "kavala" (Turkish pronunciation) originated as a shepherd's pastoral calling instrument, and because of this quality often participates in call-and-response instrumentals. It is higher in pitch then the Nay, but it can also produce a soulful, wailing sound affect.
