As per Wikipedia, we shared this small history to let our customers know about the history. The simsimiyya (Arabic: سمسمية, also spelled simsimyya or sinsimiyya; pl. simsimiyyāt or sinsimiyyāt) is a traditional Egyptian musical instrument resembling a box or bowl lyre, available in both circular and rectangular models. Back in the day, Egyptian versions of the instrument had five strings that were held in place by pegs instead of tuning rings. Interestingly, today, images of the instrument in Egypt may depict versions with 12 strings. Ultimately, the simsimiyya has been played since ancient times.Musicians in Egypt use the simsimiyya across various genres, including the popular Sawahli music from the northern coast of the country.Moreover, it likely made its way to this region from the Nile Valley in the 19th century, brought by Egyptian workers involved in the Suez Canal project. Musicians also feature the simsimiyya in other genres of Egyptian music. Notably, Egyptian bands that prominently include the simsimiyya as a main instrument are El Tanbura, which, in fact, incorporates other traditional Egyptian instruments as well.Musicians known as suhbagiyya often play alongside the simsimiyya in Egyptian cities like Port Said, Ismailia, and Suez. You can also find this instrument making music in neighboring countries such as Libya, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. This provides a basic history of the instrument.
