This was so interesting. "Flutes" are probably one of the most widespread instrument in the whole world, but every culture has shaped its own version into something unique. Many thanks to the kind Cengiz Arslanpay for sharing his knowledge. P.S. the bit when you played together? Wild!

[@flutechannel]

So incredible! Thanks for the insight and Cengiz is amazing!

[@HenryPh_am]

The ney and middle eastern scale sound amazing and mysterious Now I’m hyped. XD can’t wait until Sarah bring more vertical flutes like the shakuhachi too ❤️

[@Dewingo]

Another vote for shakuhachi! It would be a perfect choice for this series.

[@archkde]

The Turkish musical system has over 500 different makams, not just one scale!

[@CanberkDuman]

That Tenor vs Ney blend was breathtaking!

[@ysakgul]

When you listen to ney you always feel that it is trying to say something to you in words, you don't know what it is exactly but if you listen enough, you will understand some of the meaning that you won't be able to express in words!

[@jcortese3300]

This was AMAZING. I have a kaval, and I have struggled with it for ages. I can get a sound out and three harmonics, but I run out of air so, so quickly that I'm convinced I must be doing it wrong. It's frustrating, but the fascination of an instrument that has literally NO windway is still there. I adore the things.

[@jakeperalta9970]

i wouldnt expect to see sarah with a fellow turkish, çok iyi

[@jakeperalta9970]

@oaktree_ lol

[@twocanucksful]

I love those kinds of videos. It was beautiful when you played together. Thank you. ❤️

[@MikaelLewisify]

Ney is one of the most hauntingly beautiful instruments in the world.

[@haticeebrar8253]

this made me want to practice my ney again

[@IsaacOtto]

Great intro -- I'd love to see a whole video on the Persian ney -- because of the radically different embouchure, its tone and techniques can be vastly different from other end-blown flutes. Plus, it doesn't get nearly enough air time!

[@YorozuyaNeesan2010]

This was so exciting!! It has a haunting, yet beautiful kind of sound.

[@benoittissier58]

Thanks for both the ney introduction and the insight in Turkish music !

[@travisjohnson7202]

Great video! I’ve experimented with playing my clarinet like a ney by taking off the mouthpiece, and I’ve seen some Turkish G clarinet players do the same thing more successfully. But this is the first ney explainer video I’ve seen, actually.

[@danielfryer9693]

Thank you Sarah and Cengiz - that was fabulous. And like many comments below, I loved the duet!

[@vampiricconure]

I'd never heard of the Ney before this video. Awesome stuff!

[@rozeeh]

Ney and tenor improv was beautiful, didn't want it to end!

[@hansfijlstra5932]

Great video. Love it!

[@tantricsarcasm9133]

Awesome topic, Sarah! Thanks

[@VassaTokareva]

I really love all of your videos😍😍😍 thank God for existence of this chanel😄 And this video is also very interesting

[@DrLogical987]

Fantastic! I (main instrument, sax) got 3 Neys. Fascinating to learn

[@demeyahu231]

What a nice interview, i personally would like to see him again on the channel. It'd be great to see kaval, duduk in particlar "sipsi" in action :)

[@xaciu]

Amazing video 5🌟Thank you!

[@tailgaity]

wow! this is so interesting and such a beautiful sound

[@emreyavuz4706]

That! Was! Awesome!

[@carudatta]

When he started playing the low F ney, the cat left the room.

[@VinceAmin]

Love it!!!

[@harkelan]

Wow this was really interesting

[@thedonal]

Great timing! I just got an Egyptian Ney- spent half the week working out how to get a sound from it! Slowly finding the notes...

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

Je suis d’accord! "Tellement incroyable! Merci pour la perspicacité et Cengiz est incroyable!" 👍 😊 🎵

[@andyrose7953]

Fascinating!

[@fuckbored4724]

The sound of the ney really complimented the recorder

[@xdatam]

thank you dear for this

[@selenewriter]

Lovely! Will we see a follow-up on how to sound ney-like/play ney-inspired music on the recorder?

[@LarryShone]

Excellent. And of course, I want one

[@kyke0n213]

Awesome!

[@Shaknurat]

Damn, last time I heard about ney long time ago... Fantastic instrument!

[@wendynoble6545]

So interesting!

[@fabioaraujo8379]

Música sufi com ney é fantástica

[@fishercawkey]

I started playing the Arabic nay just over one month ago. A great challenge, but very rewarding. The Arabic nay does not have a başpare (beveled mouthpiece) like the Turkish ney does.

[@Digithalis]

thanks a lot :-)

[@nenechonlisboa4127]

I LOOOOVE wind instruments !! I do not have enough time to practise unfortunately. Many thank for this discovery !!! It is a real pleasure to hear other wind instruments from other culture, a whole new world each time !! Many thans again !! :) Do you know the Basque 'txistu' ? I love playing it :)

[@mattfangrecorderstudio8325]

Very intresting instrument maam Sarah🙂

[@gardenanswerprogram5656]

Very good your video 👍👍👍📸📸📸🤗🤗🤗

[@hippiblue]

Now I want to spin.

[@yannick-tripleocarina6960]

You should make a video about ocarina you played one before.

[@victotronics]

Quite right. The Egyptian/Turkish Ney & the Kaval are kind of hard. The Persian Ney is just really really really hard.

[@kemanperest]

😍🇹🇷

[@t0mhann3n]

Please could you list where the Neys in the video were purchased, and which ones he would recommend for a beginner?

[@stefaniedecoster2772]

Thanks for the interesting video, very informative! Now I can recognise a ney when I see it or hear it. It's really fun to compare different kinds of flutes. @Sarah Jeffery / Team Recorder maybe you can do a video on choroi flutes with choroi fingering or a sopilka with ten fingerholes?

[@somebodysvideos7876]

I play the sopilka

[@travisjohnson7202]

Can you do an explainer video? It would be cool to learn the fingerings!

[@somebodysvideos7876]

@@travisjohnson7202 I think there are some, but in Ukrainian. I'm not a youtuber, I don't know how to make good videos.

[@stefaniedecoster2772]

@@travisjohnson7202 there is a channel called 'sopilka' that has a video about all the notes. It's not in English but the notes are shown on screen. Hope this helps! Some of the videos have subtitles by the way.

[@travisjohnson7202]

Okay, thanks! Дякую!

[@Ahmet-ir9ot]

👏👏👍

[@naomiaudiffret1224]

Dank je wel voor deze video. Ik heb onlangs ook een Ney gekregen, maar krijg er enkel met veel moeite de hoge tonen uit. Enorme spreiding van de onderhand is ook niet zo eenvoudig. Deze video is eeen leuke aanmoediging om het weer eens te proberen.

[@Team_Recorder]

Doe maar, en als je het wilt kun je ook les met Cengiz nemen! Hij woont ook in NL 😊

[@serseriherif9530]

Kan ook aan je ney zelf liggen, probeer anders ook eens je fluit te oliën dat maakt ook een belangrijk verschil

[@beagru5706]

Extraordinary🎼💖 thank you both for this splendid presentation 💗🍀🌻🎶🎵 Ps. I heard that Djalal Ad Din Rûmi, great figure of XIII century, create the ney🤔

[@SerkanKabak25]

How much should one pay for a ney? At least as a beginner and one that is worth buying?

[@roccoleo7073]

Where to buy one

[@CountDoucheula]

1:15 Any time the spy in the movie has to rendezvous with the agent in the middle east

[@Chompchompyerded]

May I join you with my Native American flute?

[@dominiclapinta8537]

Since there is a ney, I wonder if they is a yey? Get it?

[@UkuleleSioni]

I love the Ney and the music of the Middle East, but I always feel like I’m betraying my sweet recorder when I admit that. At least it’s not a transverse flute, lol.

[@natheniel]

8:13 CAT!

[@muratkara3636]

Neyzen Tevfik is the king of the ney instrument.

[@qwaqwa1960]

Next up, Flageolet.

[@mirabilos]

Cat! But yeah, interesting instrument and insights!

[@emreaydogmus5092]

today i learned that i dont hate "ney". i just hate the arabic one because it reminds me of ramadan suhoors =) thanks for this great video ❤

[@cmw12]

Ney player. Not to be confused with a naysayer.

[@drpastormartinosempa8930]

Dont say Ney to it...

[@felipevetrj]

Wonderfull, very kind guy, but this instrumet didn't sounds nice to me.
