I've been trying to get a sound out of my ney for on and off around 10 years now. I've been using the other technique with the teeth, but can never really do it. Now I tried your technique and I got a lot of sound finally. I do want to learn to make the deep sounds though

[@EarthredPortman]

Thank you very much. I have had a ney for many years and haven’t focused enough yet because of how difficult it was to make a sound when I first bought it, but I know I can do it if I put my mind to it. Thanks for this video it should prove helpful.

[@itakaitaka5358]

Sir, your teach is useful and precise, after a lot of tries without guide, for first time I get the sound of my recovered ney. THANKYOU SO MUCH!!! :) I,m glad!

Yes I! With ur help I produced me first real ney sound within a half hour of practice! Thanks a lot! Jah bless!

[@davidelmhurst]

[@FlemmingBehrend]

Thank you, very helpful video beginners.

[@andivax]

[@directorgulperi2367]

Thanks for the tip, it start to works 👍🏻🧿🙏

[@zzodysseuszz]

Always been a huge fan of Egyptian music but can’t find many easily accessible music especially at good quality but if I get one of these I could create my own

[@samer.Guirguis]

Very helpful really, thank you very much

[@Zahrek1]

hello as an additional tip: I found out that if you can't get a sound from the ney despite practicing for a long time, you should simply de-grade the mouthpiece, especially with the plastic version. As was well explained, the sound on the mouthpiece is created by splitting the airflow. The plastic mouthpiece of my ney was round and blunt. Of course, no sound could be created in this way. I sharpened the edge of the mouthpiece with a knife and now I can play nicely.

[@judithbabor9076]

Hello i also bought the plasti one what do i need to do to have a sound

[@myriamlaghmari9284]

Hi please could you tell us what to do with the plastic mouth piece the air goes but no sound😢

[@BLANCAKurdish]

thank you , great video

[@JasonEvans01]

I bought a ney from a music store in Dubai 15 years ago and stumbled across your video to learn how to play it 😅

[@spardaparodax]

i'ts really help... thank you !

[@hp15132]

Thanks... with your video it took me 5 seconds to produce a sound :)

[@Arabinstruments]

+moussy82 Thanks, soon more videos are coming, stay tuned...

[@elbrince]

I came to this video because I have a set of Nay flutes and after many attempts to get a noise out of them became convinced that they are broken. I will give your technique a try, and eventually will give up, and these flutes will remain as a decoration in the room. Hehe.

[@yannekmaunz]

thank you man, keep itz up !:)

[@cezarlove4159]

thank you for the tutorial videos it really worked out for me . may ask you what is the name of ney oil and how do we use it? thank you :)

[@Harfoush72]

Thank you very much Niri, your tutorial is really helpful. I started making sound with whistling. But i am a bit confused, do i have to make whistling sound or just blow air into the new? :)

[@kosovasazcitatlises8998]

Thanks im gonna try

[@hamidehcole9952]

hello, in another instructional it said to hiss and place ney off to the side which made me produce a sound but you can hear the air. Your sound is very clear. I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[@paul.awaraji]

[@sunneynotsunny]

Now I finally know the meaning of my name! My name is Ney. It doesn't mean anything in my language but Ney is cool! May be in the future I will go travel and find the Ney.

[@benobarca]

[@lillyzarifi8713]

[@blalab8402]

Thanks

[@a.b.-drums]

Hi, it's a very good video! Can well understand. I think I can do that... Maybe I'll by that. ;-) Greetings from Germany.

[@Arabinstruments]

Thank you for the feedback...

[@jokersfamily1917]

Tinkyou

[@Fasleno]

Thanks for your educational video, just for the record , Ney is a Persian Instrument.

[@sanatanadharma7208]

Nope, it was played long time before persians appear in history. In ancient Egypt and Sumer for example.

[@danomite0824]

So, while blowing what is going on inside the mouth. Is your throat open and tongue depressed/relaxed with tip lightly touching the back of lower front teeth? Or is the throat a little more closed and tongue a little more forward? Should it be a hollow whistle or like a regular whistle? Where exactly is the ney rasting on the lip?

[@sourkreem8890]

what if you cant whistle? any tips been trying this hiss method but idk how to sound good

[@Mahkey_Official]

I'm at this point where I can get a tone on both sides, I'm usually left-handed but I play guitar on both sides, so I don't know what to do, it took me plenty more time to find the tone holding the Ney on the right side, is this ok to play the Ney on the left side?

[@Arabinstruments]

sure, no problem

[@19700km]

Vrey good

[@mariamalkhamees5113]

there won't be shipping to Saudi anytime soon?

[@StephtherefAmazing]

I don't even play the ney. How did I get here? Cool instrument though

[@MrCoolbeanstogo]

Which size Ney is good for a beginner?

[@aes7961]

I bought a Kiz Ney today and I’m trying to produce a sound. So far I produced a sound for 2-3 seconds lol.

[@sajp199]

I bought mansur ney im same I find it very hard I blow so many times and sound not coming properly

[@mergimislami7156]

Hello, Im only getting the overtones and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[@anusha8193]

Which side is this? Is this left hand or right hand of ney?

[@caitlin4128]

i want to play, where should i buy one? how do i know if it is good? thank u

[@dr3dful1]

where can I find a ney teacher in los angeles

[@suheylak9440]

Is ney available online?

[@maxtofone]

Hello Niri, thanks for this initial tutorial... I would like to ask if in the very beginning it is easier to produce the sound without covering all the holes or by covering all the holes. I started to produce a little sound but on the second octave, the lowest octave seems pretty hard to. Thanks Max

[@maxtofone]

Thanks a lot Niri for your kind reply! May I ask what you mean by "closed positions"?

[@maxtofone]

Thanks Niri for this explanation... even in the middle octave "closed positions" are hard or just the lowest octave? BTW I am using the plastic Nay I purchased a while back directly from Arab Instruments;-)

[@maxtofone]

Thanks Niri for your fast and kind reply... Do you by any chance offer Skype online Ney lessons?

[@henridesportes8234]

Hello Niri, thank you so much for your video lessons. They helped me a lot! I also find it really hard to get down the lowest octave. Have you, since, found some tips to help us achieve this ? :) Thanks again. Henri

[@henridesportes8234]

Or maybe Max ?

[@darbukadawg]

how do you get to tutorial 2 ??

[@VannyPlays_]

is it normal for the lips to get tingly and numb after the firfst tries?

[@bbutterfly36]

Why is it when i blow it and make the sound...its a much higher note than the one you are making?

[@kamilsarzeybek7929]

This guy reminds me on ' pepp guardiola !!!

[@markfarhat33]

hello just a question when blow into ney; the sound that comes out is a whistle sound is that wrong ?

[@Arabinstruments]

Hey We will recommend you to look for the video "How to make a sound " from here: www.arabinstruments.com/pages/ney-lessons

[@cyclone975]

Ok, I have probably the silliest question imaginable, but here goes: Has anyone ever tried playing a ney like a trumpet, as in buzzing the lips straight into the top? Similar to the technique of a mute cornett? I can get some pretty cool sounds out of it but not sure if anyone has developed this method at all. Ok bye *runs*

[@penitoify23]

Yes! ;) But I just stopped buzzing because it was uncomfortable for my lips.

[@Eren______]

That’s me :D

[@houyda]

Is there a beginner ney?

[@Ihbaworldsax]

Still can’t get a sound but gonna keep trying.

[@kianhassibi5929]

[@stargazer3049]

I have a question. Are women allowed to play the ney in Arab cultures? I have watched a lot of videos and I never see any women playing one. I have always loved the sound of this instrument and would like to learn to play it but I'm female and I don't want to offend anyone.
