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.

Nawa Ney (Sol / G)

The Nawa Ney (Sol / G) is the next essential step in mastering the full range of the Ney.
Pitched a perfect fifth above the foundational Dukah (D), the Nawa is a shorter, sweeter instrument that produces a vibrant, high-energy tone. This G-tuned Ney is crucial for performing many exciting and uplifting Maqamat (Arabic musical modes) like Maqam Rast played in the upper registers or Maqam Nawa itself.

The Nawa Ney is known for its clarity and expressiveness in faster, more virtuosic passages. It's an indispensable instrument for any musician looking to add brilliant, soaring melodies and a higher tonal contrast to their performance repertoire.
