The Voice of the Nile, Forged by Hand

The Arabic Ney is an authentic instrument whose lineage traces back to the temples of Ancient Egypt, making it one of the oldest musical voices still alive today. Each Ney is a piece of living history, handcrafted by Oudland EG from the finest Egyptian reeds, meticulously chosen along the fertile banks of the Nile for their perfect density and acoustic resonance.

Pure Sound, Masterful Craftsmanship

Crafted by a master artisan whose skill is inherited through generations, this instrument is a tribute to the deep tradition of Arabic classical music. It is designed to offer a pure, haunting, and incredibly expressive tone:

• Ancient Purity: This Ney is made in the traditional Egyptian style, typically without a mouthpiece, requiring a focused lip technique that delivers the authentic, mellow, and breathy sound revered in Arabic music.

• Professional Precision: Tuned to the demanding microtonal system of the Maqamat, this instrument offers unparalleled clarity and the tonal flexibility required for professional performance, study, and recording.

Busalik Ney (Mi / E)

The Busalik Ney (Mi / E) is a brilliant and versatile addition to the Arabic Ney family, situated a whole step above the foundational Dukah (D). Its higher pitch imbues it with a distinctive brightness and penetrating clarity that is highly valued in both classical taqasim (improvisations) and ensemble work.
The Busalik Ney is the natural home for compositions centered around the Maqam Busalik (E), a key that often conveys feelings of uplift, contemplation, and lyrical grace. Its presence allows the musician to navigate the full emotional spectrum of the repertoire, providing the chromatic range and expressive potential to move beyond the lower registers. For the devoted nayzen (ney player), mastering the Busalik Ney is crucial for developing versatility and accessing a wider, more ethereal soundscape.
