About the instrument:

The ney is a wind instrument made of reed and has a long body with 6 or 7 holes that can be covered with the fingers to create different sounds, resembling a flute. The sound of the ney is very deep, otherworldly, and impressive - it is thought that it represents the human as the symbol of 'absolute'. The origin of the word 'ney' dates back many years, first used in history in Sumerian society. The first neyzen known is Mevlâna J. Rûmî. In 18th-century Istanbul, the majority of the musicians were Mevlevi dervishes. Dervishes also taught their pupils how to play the ney, thus, neyzens have been raised in lineages over the centuries.
