Simsimiyya This popular instrument looks like a mix of a lute and a harp. It’s made of beech wood with holes and has metal strings that a musician plucks with a five-centimetre piece of animal horn. The holes produce the musical resonance of the strings. Depictions of this instrument have been seen on engravings of ancient Egyptian tombs. The simsimiyya is usually played as a solo instrument. Yemenis in Hadhramaut and Tihama typically used it for wedding songs, tribal gatherings, and sheikh councils in the past, but it is rarely played nowadays.
