Looking for a true professional Armenian shvi from Armenia? EthnicTune offers real genuine Shvi, made and signed by one of the best shvi makers in Armenia: Master Karen Hakobyan. Shvi is a shepherds flute, a true fantastic instrument with incredible sound.
One octave is obtained by blowing normally into the shvi and a second octave is attained by blowing with slightly more force. The lower octave has a timbre similar to a recorder whereas the higher octave sounds similar to a piccolo or flute. 8-hole traditional flute. Typically, most Armenian duduk or zurna players learn the shvi before moving on to either instrument.
