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.

Dukah Ney (Re / D)

The Dukah Ney (Re / D): Positioned as the second-lowest pitch after the long Rast Ney (C), the Dukah is considered the cornerstone of the Arabic Ney set. This specific tuning is the Maqam key of choice because the vast majority of classic and contemporary Arabic scales and musical compositions are conventionally centered around this D pitch. It is therefore a required instrument for any serious student or professional musician.
