Instrument - Ney

 Ney, a wind instrument;

Ney is known as the oldest musical instrument which was made by humans. It’s one of the world's ancient wind instruments. According to some theories, its early forms could be the first human invention to create musical sound. Citing evidence from prehistoric times, several scientists believed that the first instrument for sound production may have been a wind instrument which is made of animal horns. These instruments were a single sound instrument which was known as trumpet, horn, or same names to provide life dailies and sending messages.
According to a theory, the first species of this wind instrument was used for producing a type of bird sound to be called to the hunting ground, and then the same horn-like mean was used to throw at the prey.
However, the certain point is that the human larynx and its influence from the beautiful natural sounds such as birds, waterfalls, and the blowing wind on the leaves of trees can be a special priority for wind instruments in this phenomena. This priority has been seen throughout human history. 1100 years ago, Abu Nasr Farabi also considered human throat as a super instrument of music.
There are different types of Ney in the world including flute, double drum, Gharaney, seven-strap Ney, etc. Seven-strap Ney will be discussed in the following.

Based on all researches, the oldest wind instrument which can be the base of an ancient Flute and Ney, was discovered in a village in Germany.
