About
Ney is a cylinder shaped (flute-like) woodwind instrument. It most typically has 6 nodes and 6 internodes (hence the name "Haft Band" which literally means "7 internodes"). It is made with different thicknesses (1.5 to 3 centimeters) and different lengths (30 centimeters to 70 centimeters). It has 5 holes in the front and one in the back In either way, air enters the instrument and most of it leaves through the first open hole. Thereofore, the opening and closing of the holes by the player's fingers changes the length of the vibrating air and creates high or low pitches. Vibrating the lips help create vibration in the sound. Tuning cannot be changed on a Ney instrument. Hence, it is typically utilized as a solo instrument. In orchestras, Ney players usually have access to numerous Neys made to have different tunings to be able to accompany others.
