The Turkish Ney is an old end-blown reed flute. Ney, Turkish tanbur, oud (lute) and Turkish kemençe (fiddle) are considered to be the most typical instruments of Classical Turkish music. The Ney also plays a primary role in the music of the Mevlevi Sufi rites (semâ) and other spiritual and traditional musical renderings of Turkey and Turkish origin.
