Turkish Ney Tutorial - How to blow

Teaching how to make a sound with a Turkish Ney.

[@katef3552]

So helpful! Just bought one today and watched this video and was able to get a sound out after not being able to before! Thank you!!!

[@rev4033]

Thank you, you have no idea how helpful this is , my first sound producing after two months of trying ...

[@rivalnevam6937]

omg yes I finally got sound going. now if only it wasnt 11 o clock at night... lmao Tip: Oil the ney if its wooden. It helps a lot. just keep practising after that and you should get it. change angles, lip size, etc. for example, I find I dont blow that hard at all but at first I thought I had to do it more. its like the wind "flows" into the ney and not how a flute is played. With a flute, you blow very hard and the sound it "split" when it hits the instrument, but with this ney you will actually feel the wind travel into the flute, or "flow."

[@Ihbaworldsax]

Yep . Figured it out at 3am lol

[@carlotapuig]

It worked instantly for me. Thank you very much. It was much easier than I thought and as you said it is very rewarding the first time you produce a good sound on the ney.

[@marcfaur]

Man, I'm blowing in my Turkish ney for years and, no matter how many tutorials I watch, I can't get a sound out of it. Thanks for this, but I still can't do it.

[@doumkatekz]

If it's a cane /reed one (not pvc) make sure it's been oiled. If it's really super dry it will be hard even if you already knew how. Also if you know someone that plays, face towards the mirror together while you try. Or maybe it would work with a video.

[@elpiffel]

I think I have a mansur which is not oiled. do you know how to do and which oil to take?

[@jcortese3300]

I've only just started -- literally -- making a sound with a rim-blown flute (a kaval though, not a ney), and the thing that's surprising to me is how little air is needed, barely any at all. Don't really blow down it, just sort of mildly exhale like you're not trying, and if you get a tone, hold it for as long as you can. I play some flute as well, and that takes TONS more air. Getting a sound out of a rim-blown flute feels like trying to touch a soap bubble.

[@jcortese3300]

FWIW, I just only started with a kaval, and that's a very similar instrument. The difference is that you can pull a kaval apart and only practice with the headjoint, which makes it a LOT easier. Maybe you can start with a kaval and then move onto the ney if that's your favorite of the rim-blown flutes.

[@MiLaDoB]

Throw it out It's poor quality

[@dilekozgun2434]

Ne kadar da akıllıca bir video... Thank you so much :)

[@elenidinioukotsaridis427]

Thank you Kosta! After watching your video, today my first sound after 3 weeks...

[@TheWriter86]

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 planning on buying a Turkish Ney in the next few days. Great lesson on how to get a beautiful sound out of the instrument.

[@alexanderbahremand1973]

Great video, thanks a lot. I was wondering if you could explain what the position of the tongue should be like?

[@jillianw9824]

Yes this was helpful. I will continue to practice and hopefully make a sound.

[@sahra2112]

Wonderful, you are a great teacher, you should make more videos for sure! :)

[@richardb5298]

It looks like you v got a plastic black part in the end. I don't have anything and it looks completely impossible to make any noises

[@ferbegyful]

Hi Kostas! Thank you for the videos, they're great!! I just have a question: I bought a Sah Ney from Turkey. I've been practising for three days now but still can't get out any sound of it...I guess it's fine and I just need some more practice, but I was wondering if this type of Ney requires a different approach or maybe it needs to be oiled...I don't know. I really love the sound of this instrument and I can't wait to make the first notes :-) thank you very much!! Dario (Italy)

[@superdragon428]

My god, been looking for a tutorial for years

[@spbeckman]

I've found the tutorial before I could find a ney.

[@araintimelive]

You make it look so easy. Thank you for this video and make more! Very charismatic as well :). Blessings!!

[@benobarca]

rocking that south park shirt xD youtube needs even more ney tutorials !

[@loesswart352]

Thanks, is a great help.

[@flautusflautus3169]

Thank you, sir!

[@enrico759]

I first bought an Egyptian Kawala and it was easy for me to get used to it in days. The Turkish ney is impossible, I have trying to blow in it for a month and I can't make sound out of the top three holes. I can only make a sound with the back hole. So my kawala is what I play every time when I can't figure out how to play my ney. Also my ney has cracked after oiling, I let it dry inside a ney case. Not sure if something went wrong.

[@sajp199]

Thank u so so much brother now I can blow my new ney now I have mansur bey

[@johnarnis7340]

Ωραίο βίντεο Κώστα ! Ενδιαφέρομαι να ξεκινήσω και γω να μαθαίνω ney. Στα πλαστικά ney είναι πιο εύκολα μα βγάλεις ήχο ; και επίσης ποσό δύσκολο είναι να μάθεις νότες για κάποιο ο οποίος εχει συνηθίσει στις απλές κλίμακες μουσικές και όχι στις παραδοσιακές του ney;

[@javierdejesusahumadareyes3422]

Greetings. I want to build a PVC nay but I cannot find a fingering chart or something like that in the Internet for a La Mansur tunned ney. Would you tell me where can I find that? I Just need to know what sound give each hole in a La Mansur nay.

[@davidgreen8968]

Thanks!

[@neyzen4427]

David Green You are welcome!

[@Ihbaworldsax]

I have been playing a plastic Ney and just purchased a reed nay that has holes in all of the knots making ten holes total. Is that normal or do I have a lemon?

[@dahlavibez5726]

I have a small kawala ... Man this technique is just so difficult I can't get my mouth to pin point it, at times I hit the low octave really well then at times it goes in high octave .. i

[@chimpansi2]

Thanx!

Καλησπέρα Κώστα. Από Θεσσαλονίκη είμαι. Έχεις να μου συστήσεις κάποιον εδώ Θεσσαλονίκη; και δεύτερον πως μπορώ να ξέρω ότι το νευ μου τ οποίο το πήρα μεταχειρισμένο ότι είναι σε καλή κατάσταση και δεν φυσάω τζάμπα; ευχαριστώ.

[@jjscale]

Γεια σου, αν και λίγο καθυστερημένα, αν ήτανε χαλασμένο το Νέυ θα το έβλεπες(θα είχε φθορά δλδ). Επίσης για κάποιον αρχάριο δεν θα είχε ιδιαίτερη διαφορά. Μπορείς θεωρητικά να μάθεις να βγάζεις ήχο και με ενα απλό pvc σωλήνα. Θυμάμαι κιεγω πάντως αυτό το συναίσθημα όταν είχα πάρει την πρώτη μου κιθάρα, νόμιζα οτι πραγματικά ήτανε χαλασμένη :). Για μαθήματα δεν μου έρχεται κάποιος τώρα, αλλά αν ακόμα ψάχνεις πες μου και θα βρώ κάποιον να σου προτείνω..

[@vladymlr8566]

Ευχαριστώ πολύ. Ναι ενδιαφέρομαι. Αν βρεις κάποιον στείλε μου. Ευτυχώς έχω και το korg και παίζω εκεί ney. Κι εγώ κιθάρα παίζω κυρίως ηλεκτρική, αλλά νομίζω πως παίζοντας νευ θα είναι η υπέρτατη χαρά.

[@jjscale]

@@vladymlr8566 Μερικές φορές βοηθάει να προσπαθήσεις να παίξεις μπροστά σε έναν καθρευτη ώστε να βλέπεις τα χείλη σου, επίσης μην προσπαθείς να κλείσεις καμία τρύπα αρχικά η κάθε τρύπα χρειάζεται μια μικρή προσαρμογή στην αναπνοή. Εφόσον βγάλεις ήχο προσπάθησε να παίξεις μακρόσυρτες νότες, αρχικά ολα ανοιχτά και μετά άρχισε να κλείνεις.

[@vladymlr8566]

Ευχαριστώ πολύ για τις συμβουλές σου. Το χω κάνει ήδη με τις νότες. Το θέμα είναι ότι σχεδόν κάθε φορά είναι σαν πρώτη.ο καθρέφτης πάντως ναι βοηθάει.Γενικά μου πήρε κάνα 5ωρο να βγάλω την πρώτη καθαρή νότα. Έπειτα όταν έκλεισα όλες τις τρύπες έκανε 1 ώρα να ξεστραβωσει το κεφάλι και το σώμα χαχαχα

Thanks for the Tutorial, I'm trying to blow and I'm getting a Bass sound is it suppose to be like this?

[@TheWindGinProject]

Thank You

[@superdragon428]

Could you please make another video with a closer camera and brighter room so we can see exactly where the Ney is positioned? Thanks~

[@rabidmachine9]

Super Dragon Thank you, I will try to make another video soon!

[@superdragon428]

No, thank you! My dad brought me a Kiz Ney from when he went to Turkey, but I can't speak Turkish and finding an English lesson is very hard. Thanks again

Hello. The centimeter measures the nay turkish if you like

[@temoniprince]

Who is the maker of the ney

[@marouanesharry6180]

Can t get a sound have been trying 3 days but nothing barely got it right once but it was random. Is it possible that the ney is malfunctioning ?

[@neyzen4427]

No, basically you can make a sound from anything that almost looks like a Ney. Make sure you are not closing any holes at the beginning. It took me certainly more than 3 days to make a sound! Good Luck!

[@marouanesharry6180]

@@neyzen4427 Hey thanks for the fast reply ! I just want to ask one things about this ney. I used your technique but still can't get a sound . But only a strong whistle comming from the baspare. Is it the a good sign of progress or not . Thank you again

Page 11 12 The Magic Flute Three brothers went in search of knowledge. The eldest was called Rajuna, the middle one Tapa and the youngest, Manja. While studying, Manja turned out to be the cleverest. He was well- liked by their teacher and this made Rajuna and Tapa envious. Before they completed their studies, the brothers had to get the magic bamboo flute from the sum- mit of Bukit Berapit. The three men started out on their journey. After walking some distance they arrived at a crossroads. "Which road should we take, Brother?" asked Manja. "I think the wide road to the right is the right one. What do you think, Tapa?_ asked Rajuna. "I agree, Brother," said Tapa. "What about you, Manja?" asked Rajuna. "I think the narrow road to the left is the right one," said Manja. "Well, we do not agree with you," said Rajuna, "so let's go our separate ways." Rajuna and Tapa continued their journey. While climbing the hill, they heard a voice. "Where are you going, Rajuna?" "We're going to the top of the hill to find the bamboo flute," said Rajuna quickly. Immediately, he was turned to stone. The same fate be- fell Tapa. Manja who had chosen the nar- row road met an old man at the foot the hill. "Sir, may I ask you something?" asked Manja. "Yes, what is it, son?" asked the old man. "I know very little. Can you give me advice on how to reach the top of Bukit Berapit?" asked Manja. Seeing that Manja was humble and sincere, the old man agreed to help him. "While climbing, do not at any time respond to any greeting or look behind you," said the old man. "Why, Sir?" asked Manja. "What you would hear is the voice of the Devil. If you reply or look behind you will come under an evil spell. You will be turned to stone," said the old man. On his journey, many voices greeted Manja. Manja his closed up both his ears with a piece of cloth. Only when he reached the top the hill did he remove the cloth from his ears. All at once, he heard pleasant voices. He had found the cluster of bamboo. "Greetings, Guardian of the Bamboo! Permit me to take a section of the bamboo," Manja, following the old man's advice. Manja cut a piece of bamboo of the thickness of a big toe. He drilled small holes in it and fashioned a flute out of it. As he descending the hill, he played the flute. To his great surprise, as if by magic, many people appeared. "Thank you, Sir, for rescuing us," said one of the men. "We were cursed and turned to stone. It was your bamboo flute that restored us to our human form again," added another young man. Only then did Manja understand the magic the bamboo flute. As he continued playing the flute, more and more stones turned into men. Among those rescued Rajuna and Tapa, his two older brothers.
