Ney flute that figures prominently in Middle Eastern music. In some of these musical traditions, it is the only wind instrument used. The ney had been played continuously for 4,500 – 5,000 years , making it one of the oldest musical instruments still in use .the Persian ney consists of a hollow gylinder with finger holes sometimes abrass or plastic mouth piece is placed at the top to protect the wood from damage but this plays no role in the sound production. Ney consists of apiece of hollow cane with five or six finger holes and one thumb hole. Modern ney may be made instead of metal or plastic tubing . The pitch of the ney varies depending on the region and the finger arrangement. A highly skilled ney player, called neyzen, can reach more than three octaves though it is more common to have several helper neys to cover different pitch ranges or to facilitate playing technically difficult passages in other.
