About Ney instrument

Ney is a cylinder shaped (flute-like) woodwind instrument. It can vary in diameter (1.5-3.0 cm) and length (30-70 cm). In all versions, 5 consecutive (finger) holes are placed closer to one end and one hole closer to blown-end. Tuning cannot be changed on a Ney instrument. Hence, it is usually utilized as a solo instrument. In an orchestra, Ney player usually has access to numerous Neys to accommodate different tunings. Ney’s range is about 2.5 octave. Going to higher octaves is possible by blowing more air. Meaning, by doubling the pressure, the sounds will become higher pitch by one Octave. Persian Ney is played throughout Iran.
