		The qanun is a descendent of the old Egyptian harp and has played an integral part in Arab music since the tenth century.
		A kind of dulcimer, its Arabic name means 'rule' or 'law.' The qanun was introduced to Europe by the 12th Century, becoming known during the 14th to the 16th Century as a psaltery or zither.
		The form of the qanun consists of a trapezoid-shaped flat board over which 81 strings are stretched in groups of three with 24 treble chords consisting of three chords to each note.

	Qanún - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These small levers, which can be raised or lowered quickly by the performer while the instrument is being played, serve to change the pitch of a particular course slightly by altering the string lengths.
		While Armenian kanuns employ half-tones and Arabic qanuns quarter-tones, typical Turkish kanuns divide the equal-tempered semitone of 100 cents into 6 equal parts, yielding 72 equal divisions (or commas) of the octave.
		Not all pitches of 72-tone equal temperament are available on the Turkish kanun, however, since kanun makers only affix mandals for intervals that are demanded by performers.

		Qanun was seen as an influential paper not just by virtue of its political content but also for the style of its writing.
		Browne was unwavering in attributing the authorship of Qanun to Malkum; indeed he had argued that his literary style as reflected in its pages was influential in developing a new kind of Persian prose.
		That Qanun was a significant influence on Iran is undeniable.

		The qanun is slightly larger than the santur and three of its sides are perpendicular.
		The chief difference between the two instruments is that the qanun is plucked rather than struck.
		One advantage the qanun has compared to the santur is its tuning.

	The Jakarta Post - The Journal of Indonesia Today
		Viewing the Qanun through the regional government law, it is no different from the ordinary Peraturan Daerah or Regional Regulations, except for its Arabic and Islamic-oriented terminology.
		As noted earlier, Qanun sanctions cannot be tougher or different than the limitations set by the law on regional governments.
		By stipulating such a harsh physical punishment this Qanun could be deemed to be in breach of regional law because it has violated the legal maxim of lex superior derogate lex inferior (a higher regulation prevails over a lower one).

		Turkish writers agree that the qanun in its present form was introduced into their country during the reign of Mahmud II (1785-1839) by a Syrian immigrant, Umer Effendi, from Cairo.
		On the modern Arab qanun manufactured in Egypt, it is supported at a height of about 5 cm by five feet placed at intervals across the width of the instrument; the Turkish kanun has only four feet.

	Najia reviews HRamsy's Qanun Cd for the Gilded Serpent
		One would be hard pressed to find a finer maestro of the qanun anywhere in the world. It was, therefore, a delight to my ears to listen to Hossam Ramzy’s latest offering to the seemingly hungry dance community, “Qanun El Tarab” (The Spirit of the Qanun/Kanoon).
		Oddly titled “Mon Amour”, the last qanun feature on this recording seems overly pensive for a dance-oriented selection. I might have feared that it could be used by those western-style dancers who get high on “the tragedy of life”, spinning too fast with their dance veils, while sporting a dower countenance.
		Mon Amour is beautifully moody, and demonstrates Maged’s artistry on the qanun.
