Komitas

believed that the sring was the most characteristic among the Armenian instruments.

Blul

The blul [hy] instrument, which is similar in structure to the kaval, is a particular variety of the sring family of flutes. It is often considered a modern evolution of the medieval sring,^[1]^[3] with the primary differences being the presence of ring-shaped zones, both ends being thickened, and the resulting sound being characterized as velvety and slightly muted.^[4]
