NEY
The Ney, which is probably the oldest pitched instrument known to man, is an oblique rim blown reed flute with five finger holes in front and one thumb hole in the back. One of the principle instruments of Traditional Persian Music, the ney has a range of two and a half octaves. The upper end is covered by a short brass cylinder which is anchored in the tiny space between the upper incisives of the player. Sound is produced when a stream of air is directed by the tongue toward the opening of the instrument. In this way, sound is produced behind the upper teeth, inside the mouth, which gives the ney a distinct timbre than that of the sound produced by the lips on the outside of the mouth.

لطيف ترين صداى سازهاى ارکستر موسيقى ايرانى بى شک متعلق به نى است. نى يا ناى قديمى ترين ساز بشر است. انواع و اقسام اين ساز در موسيقى هاى مقامى ايران وجود دارد و نوع متداول آن در موسيقى رسمى رديف دستگاهي، نى هفت بند است. نى از خيزران هاى آماده که با تکنيک خاص سوراخ مى شوند و مجوف مى گردند، تهيه مى شود. تکنيک نواختن نى به شيوه امروزى را از استاد نايب اسدالله اصفهانى مى دانند. از نى بيشتر در تکنولوژى استفاده مى شود و از چهل سال گذشته به همت استاد حسين کسايى وارد ارکستر شده است.
