How Do We Craft Ney?

The main material of the ney is reed. Finding reeds suitable for ney making is not easy. These reeds are cut during the appropriate season and weather conditions, then dried under suitable circumstances.

The outer surface of the reed is chosen to be hard and glossy. Selecting and drying reeds with the appropriate diameter and characteristics greatly affects both the sound quality and the aesthetic structure of the ney. Since explaining our production process takes time, we have covered it in detail on a separate page. You can continue reading via the button below.

Which Type of Ney Should I Choose?

Unlike other musical instruments, the ney is not mass-produced. It is crafted from a natural material—arundo donax (giant reed)—and cannot be manufactured to standard specifications or through industrial methods. If a ney is claimed to be produced in such a way, it should definitely be avoided. Based on this, we will outline the key points to consider when choosing a ney.
