Ney is a persian word for flute. Just like "tar" is a persian word for string. The names guitar, sitar, setar, and tar have all come rooted from the persian word tar. The origin of the ney isn't so clear..but many believe it's persian because of the persian word for flute, which is also used when speaking of american/european flutes. Even though there is a Turkish, Egyptian, and Persian playing style, it could be said that the ney is a persian instrument. However, I believe this style is turkish

The word "ney" is from Middle Persian "ney" and also from Modern Persian "ney" meaning "reed" which is what the instrument is made of. You make an instrument out of "Kargı" and and you choose a persian name for it? How very odd!

irgy, sufism is Turkish, it was Turkish mystics, however now it is covered by islam.

Sufism has existed for longer than the Turkic peoples have been muslim...and what does it matter who invented it? it doesn't seem very in keeping with the Sufi spirit of love to quibble over something like this...

NEY is made in the year 1400 in Turkey by Mevlana Hz (ore in the time of him). and its became a symbol of Islamthere is a Persian NEY to But they taken it from the Turkish NEY,, it's almost the same but if you can play it, you now the difference.

ney isn't person, i'vr had enough of you guys claiming everything to be yours, ney has something to do with suphism which is Turksih mysticism!

and by the way, next time before asking people if they are dumb, and use explicit language to underline your point, maybe you should think twice. You asked if I was dumb, I'm a student attending my fifth year in masters of musicology. What kind of music background do you have?

okunderstood, take care

point is... playing the ney "in tune" isn't a sign of commitment, but rather a lack of autentity. This goes for most eastern music, turkish, arabic or persian.
