NEY

[fabriziofri]

hallo to everyone
i started building ney from bambu
i'm going on my own, without anyone teaching me how to do it
for the moment i dicovered the way to tune the flute by length and position of holes
i would like to know something more precise about the proportions of position of holes and note because i would like to experiment new tunings
can anyone help me?
thanks a lot

Hi Fabriziofri
If you go to this link and look at the Photos section there are some charts of Ney ratios.

I am curious to know why you are making Neys from Bamboo when Sardinia has good quality Giant reed cane (Arundo Donax).This is the traditional material for Neys.
