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.

Husayni Ney (La / A)

The Husayni Ney (La / A) takes you to the highest and most expressive register of the core Ney family.
Pitched a full octave above the foundational Rast Ney (C) and a fourth above the Nawa (G), this shorter Ney produces a tone that is bright, cutting, and incredibly sweet. The A-tuning is vital for performing Maqam Husayni and other modes where a high, focused voice is needed to convey emotion and intensity.

The Husayni Ney is perfect for virtuosic solos and is often used to emulate the human voice in its upper reaches. It is a fantastic instrument for musicians who wish to explore the rich emotional landscape of the classical repertoire and achieve brilliant, soaring musical lines.
