What pitch is this ney? Sounds beautiful both high and low. Beautiful playing

[persianney]

It's an A ney (E-kuk).

The ney is a difficult instrument to play. Kees van den Doel has done a wonderful job of not only learning to play the instrument so well, but also researching the ney and its proponents (google Kees to see his writings on the ney). His efforts are not only a service to ethnomusicology, but a heart-warming step in cross-cultural understanding. Well done, Kees!

Man, this "Van Ney Khane Dole Tala" is amazing. He somehow manages to magnify the sadness in Ney sound which is extraordinary for someone not from middle east. He also avoids (deliberately or not) the madjlesier sound of ney and that makes it even better. Thumbs up and hats off.

The first time I heard about this instrument and heard the sound must have been Kees van den Doel, more than 10 years ago. I loved it.

I remembered it recently because of my wife's culture, where the Kurai is very popular and I love that sound too. Not a big surprise as their roots are Persian too.

Wonderful job with this instrument, ironic that it was an Oeroeboeroe sayer who first introduced it to me. Good memories. :)

it s not an only persian instrument. ney has been played continuously for 4,500--5,000 years and first off all turks ve started to play (this play verb s not so right-breathe upon maybe-) you can find it in Divan-ı Lügat-it Türk which s written as the first dictionary of turkic in over 1072.
