Ney - Ney (English spelling) Persian

Japanese: ネイ - ねい(英語表記)ney ペルシア語
Ney - Ney (English spelling) Persian

A non-reed aerophone used in Western Asia, Central Asia, and North Africa. It is also called nayi or kasaba. Both words mean "reed" and it is often made from thick reed stalks. The standard size is about 50-70 cm long and 2-2.5 cm in diameter. There are 5-7 finger holes on the front and one hole (for the thumb) on the back. The player holds the instrument at a slight angle, places the upper end of the tube on the lower lip or upper teeth, and blows while adjusting the amount and direction of the air with the tongue. The range is usually about two and a half octaves, and the pitch can be changed subtly by breathing technique, fingering (crossed or half-open), and even lip and head movements. It is widely used in classical and folk music ensembles and solos, but in Turkey it is an important solo instrument, especially in Islamic liturgical music.

Japanese:

西アジア、中央アジア、北アフリカで用いられるノンリード(無簧(むこう))の気鳴楽器。ナーイとかカサバともよばれる。いずれも語義は「葦(あし)」で、実際に太いアシの茎でつくられる場合が多い。標準サイズは長さ50~70センチメートル、直径2~2.5センチメートル程度。指孔は前面に5~7穴、裏面に1穴(親指用)あけられる。奏者は楽器をやや斜めに構え、管の上端を下唇に置くか上歯に当て、送り込む空気の量と方向を舌で調節しながら吹奏する。音域は普通2オクターブ半程度で、呼吸法や運指法(交差や半開)、さらには唇と頭の動かし方などで微妙に音高を変化させる。古典音楽や民俗音楽の合奏や独奏に広く用いられるが、トルコではとくにイスラム教典礼音楽の重要な独奏楽器となっている。
