FOREWORD

Trk Klsik Msiksinin tek flemeli algs olan
NEY, bu trn en nemli alglarndan biridir. Sesindeki ili
ve mistik zellikler onu ayn zamanda Trk Tasavvuf
Msiksinin ba saz haline getirmitir.

NEY, which is the only woodwind instrument of Turkish
Classical Music, is one of the most important instruments of
this kind. The sensitive and mystical characteristics of its
sound made it the main instrument of Turkish Sufism Music,
as well.
Ancak, yaklak 1000 yldr Trk Msiksinde
kullanlan bu alg hakknda yaplan bilimsel almalar yok
denecek kadar azdr. Trk Msiksinin genel kaynaklarnda
yer alan, Ney hakkndaki bilgiler ise birbirinin ayn birka
cmlecii gemez. almalarma bu konudaki boluu
doldurmak amac ile baladm.

However, scientific research made about this
instrument, which has been played for about 1000 years, is
as little as none. The information about Ney in general
sources of Turkish Music is not more than a few similar
sentences. I began my studies with the aim of meeting the
deficit in this area.

NEY TUTU POZSYONU

HOW TO HOLD THE NEY

Kendinizi yllardr ney fleyen bir neyzen gibi farz
edip, neyinizin tm perdelerini (deliklerini) parmaklarnzla
kapatarak, neyi dudanza gtrp flemeye alnz.

Imagining yourself a Neyzen who has been playing
the Ney for years, close all holes of your Ney with your
fingers and put the Ney on your lips and try to play

Bu aldnz pozisyonu bozmadan, sizin
pozisyonunuzun, aada tarif edilecek 2 ayr tutu
pozisyonundan hangisine uyduunu tespit ediniz. Bu tespit
ettiiniz pozisyon beyninizin istedii tutu eklidir.

Without shifting this position, try to determine which
one of the two different holding positions explained below
your position matches. This position you determined is the
position your brain requires.

imdi aadaki iki pozisyonu ayr ayr er drder
kere deneyiniz.

Now try the two positions below three-four times
each.

NEYN 2 TRL TUTU POZSYONU VARDIR;

THERE ARE TWO POSITIONS TO HOLD THE NEY

1-) SA EL YUKARIDA sol el aada, neyi sol
dizinize bapreyi dudanzn sol tarafna yerletirip,
fleyiniz. te bu fleme pozisyonuna; SA ELMZ
yukarda tutup, SA BAPARMAIMIZLA ARN
PERDESN KAPATARAK, vcudumuzun SA tarafna
flediimiz iin SA FLEME POZSYONU denir.

1-) RIGHT HAND ABOVE left hand below, place
the Ney on your left knee and the bapare on the left side of
your lips, and play. This playing position is called RIGHT-
PLAYING POSITION, because we put our RIGHT HAND
above, CLOSE the ARN HOLE WITH OUR RIGHT
THUMB, and blow towards the RIGHT side of our body.

2-) SOL EL YUKARIDA, sa el aada, neyi sa
dizinize, bapreyi dudanzn sa tarafna yerletirip,
fleyiniz. te bu fleme pozisyonuna; SOL ELMZ
yukarda tutup, SOL BAPARMAIMIZLA ARN
PERDESN KAPATARAK, vcudumuzun SOL tarafna
flediimiz iin SOL FLEME POZSYONU denir.

2-) LEFT HAND ABOVE, right hand below, place
the Ney on your right knee and the bapare on the right side
of your lips, and play. This playing position is called LEFT-
PLAYING POSITION, because we put our LEFT HAND
above, CLOSE the ARN HOLE WITH OUR LEFT
THUMB, and blow towards the LEFT side of our body.

Yukarda dikkatlice incelediiniz bu tutu
pozisyonlarndan hangisinde rahat olduunuzu, Ney fleyi
pozisyonunuzun bir daha deimeyeceini dnerek tespit
ediniz.

Taking into account that your playing position will
not change again, determine which one of the holding
positions you have examined carefully above you are more
comfortable with.

nk; beynin konuma merkezi genellikle el
kullanm ile balantldr. Beynin sol n lobunda bulunma
olasl ok yksektir, bu nedenle sa el kullanma
alkanl olan birisi beyinin sol yarsn daha etkin
kullanyor demektir. Ayn olay sol elini kullanan iin beynin
sa yarsn etkin kullanyor anlamna gelir. Bu nedenle sol
elini kullanan birini sa elini kullanmaya zorlamak konuma
merkezinde yeni uyarlara sebep olacandan, kekemelik
gibi konuma sorunlarna yol aabilir.

Because; The left part of the body is controlled by
the right hemisphere of the brain, and the right part of the
body is controlled by the left hemisphere. That is, a right-
handed person uses their left brain more actively, similarly a
left-handed person uses their right brain more actively. The
speech center of the brain is most probably in the front of
the left brain and it is connected to the way of using hands.
For that reason, forcing a left-handed person to use their
right hand may bring about new stimulus and cause some
speech problems like stammer.

zetle, Ney flemeye yeni balayanlar iin; Neyi
Sa pozisyonda flemek isteyen birini, Sol pozisyonda
flemesi veya Sol pozisyonda flemek isteyen birini, Sa
pozisyonda flemesi iin zorlamak yanltr.
To sum up, it is wrong to force someone who wants
to play the ney in the Right position to play in the Left
position or forcing someone who wants to play the ney in
the Left position to play in the Right position.

Artk sorulduu zaman sa veya sol flyorum
demelisiniz.

Now you should say whether you play right or left
when asked.

Konserlerde, ayn notay paylaacanz sazende
arkadanzn, SA flyorsanz sanza, SOL flyorsanz
solunuza oturmas gereklidir, aksi taktirde notalar rahat
gremezsiniz.

During concerts, your partner with whom you will
share the same sheet of note should sit on your right if you
play RIGHT, or on your left if you play LEFT; or else you can
not see the sheet clearly.

Ney siparii verirken SA veya SOL flediinizi
belirtmelisiniz ki; arn perdesi ona gre alsn.

You should make it clear whether you play RIGHT
or LEFT while ordering Ney; so that the airan hole can be
made accordingly.

NEFES DEVRELER DEGREES OF BREATH

Neyden rahat ses karabilmek iin, nce
kullanacamz nefes devrelerini inceleyelim. Nefes
devreleri, gen Neyzen adaylarnn rahat ses karabilmeleri
iin abartl tarif edilmitir. Ancak ileride ustalatka bu
devreler arasndaki farklar yok denecek kadar azalacaktr.
Lets examine the breath degrees first in order to be
able to make sound from the Ney smoothly. Breath degrees
are described exaggeratedly in order for the beginner Ney
players to understand. The differences between these
degrees are going to decrease gradually as you get skilled.

Birinci Devre: SICAK NEFES;
(Kn yen elimize fler gibi derinden yavaa
flenen nefes)
First Degree: WARM BREATH;
(We blow slowly and deeply as if we blow on our
hands to warm them when they are cold in winter.)

kinci Devre: ILIK NEFES;
(Scak yemek yerken kamzdaki yemei soutur
gibi flediimiz nefese benzetebiliriz)
Second Degree: MILD BREATH;
(We blow as if we try to cool the meal on our spoon
while eating)

nc Devre: SOUK NEFES;
(Mum alevini sndrr gibi flediimiz nefes)
Third Degree: COOL BREATH;
(We blow as if we try to put out a candle light)

Drdnc Devre: RZGARLI NEFES;
(Yanan parmamz soutur gibi flenen nefes)
Fourth Step: WINDY BREATH;
(we blow as if we try to cool our hand when we burn
it accidentally)

Beinci Devre: DDETL NEFES;
(Mangal ateini kuvvetlendirmek iin fler gibi,
(Literatrde vardr fakat pek kullanlmaz)
Fifth Step: STRONG BREATH;
(Its like fanning the flames when we try to make a
fire) (It takes place in the sources but isnt used)

Altnc Devre: OK DDETL NEFES;
Literatrde vardr fakat kullanlmaz, bilgi iin ileride
ema olarak verilecektir.
Sixth Step: VERY STRONG BREATH;
It takes place in the sources but isnt used (it will be
given as a diagram later on)

NEYDEN SES IKARMA ALIMALARI EXERCICES TO MAKE SOUND FROM
THE NEY

Bu safhada kullanacamz nefes ikinci Devre
olarak isimlendirdiimiz lk nefes tir.
The breath we will use at this stage is mild breath
we name as second degree.

Kk bir ayna, bir as 30 derece olan gnye, 3
milimetre apnda bir ubuk (tkenmez kalem ii veya radyo
antenlerinin krk bir blm vb.) yannzda hazr bulunsun.
A small mirror, a setsquare with one angle of 30
o
, a
piece of stick 3 mm in diameter should be ready to hand.

Elinize aynay alarak sylediklerimi aynen
uygulamaya alnz.
Get the mirror; try to do exactly what I tell you.

Dudanz slk alacakm gibi yapnz. Form your lips as if you are whistling.

Sevimli bir ocuu pecekmi gibi, dudanzn,
biraz daha nde olmasna zen gsteriniz.
Note that your lips come a little forward as if you will
kiss a little child.

Bu ekilde kinci devre lk nefesle slk almaya
balaynz. Ilk nefesi alglayabilmeniz iin elinizin stn
dudanza iyice yaklatrnz. Elinizin dudanza uzakl
bir-iki milimetre kadar olsun ve elinizin stne slk alar gibi
yavaa fleyiniz, flemenin iddetini, flediiniz noktann
sndn hissedinceye kadar azaltnz. Is hissettiiniz anda
flediiniz nefes, Birinci devre scak nefes tir. imdi
iddetini hafif artrp slnzn rzgarndan hafif bir serinlik
hissetmeye alnz. te o andaki nefes de sizin ses
karrken kullanacanz, KNC DEVRE ILIK NEFEStir.
Biraz daha kuvvetli fleyerek, elinizin stnde, ten bir
rzgar hissettiiniz andaki nefes de, "nc devre souk
nefes"tir. Bu nefes devreleri zerinde birka kere altrma
yapnz.
Now start whistling with second degree mild
breath. In order to sense the mild breath draw the top of
your hand closer to your lips. The distance between your
lips and hand should be about one-two millimeters. Blow
onto top of your hand slowly as if you whistle. Decrease the
strength of blowing until you feel the point you blow getting
warm. The breath you blow at the moment you feel the
warmth is first degree warm breath. Now blow a little bit
more strongly and try to feel a slight coolness. That breath
is SECOND DEGREE MILD BREATH which you will use
while making the sound. The breath that feels cooler when
you blow a little bit more strongly is "third degree cool
breath". Practise these breath degrees a few times.

Ney flerken, dudanzn ortasndaki aklk ne

ZM'nin deiik zamanlarda ney flerken, dudann
ortasndaki akl defalarca kumpasla lerek de tespit
ettiim gibi, ideal akln ap 3 milimetredir.
While playing the Ney, the more circular the
opening in the middle of your lips is, the better the Ney
sounds. The diameter of the circle is also very important. As
I determined by measuring the opening in the middle of
Sadreddin zimis lips with a compass time and time again
while he played at different times, the diameter of the ideal
opening is 3 mm.

Aadaki resimde Neyzen Sadreddin ZMnin
ney flerken dudann ortasndaki akln ne kadar

Hold the mirror with your right hand if you play
right or left hand if you play left, and hold the stick of 3 mm
with your other hand and whistle. With the help of the mirror
check the opening in the center of your lips to see if it is
circular and 3 mm in diameter, and whistle a few minutes.
You can check the diameter of the opening in your lips by
placing the stick in the opening in your lips.

Not: Azdaki bu 3 milimetrelik aklk, sesin rahat

eserin fazlaca kesilmesine ve icrann bozulmasna yol aar.

Note: This 3 mm opening in your lips is the most
accurate form determined, to make sound smoothly and
saving breath. In the case that the opening is less than 3
mm; a weak Ney sound will come out, and in the case that it
is more than 3 mm; you will need to breathe so often due to
excessive loss of breath during a performance that the
piece will be subject to too many interruptions and your
performance to spoil.

Do not press the bapare onto your lips too
strongly. Do just enough to prevent loss of air through
places except from the opening in the middle of your lips. If
you press too strongly, you may tire your lips and cause
physical deformation on them. The whistle sound will turn
into Ney sound at the moment the bapare touches your
lips. If you could not get the Ney sound, try to find the sound
with the bapare touching your lips, whistling by slowly
moving it together with your lips 1-2 mm towards left or
right, without changing the angles. After a while you will
notice that the whistle sound gradually turns into Ney sound.
It may take either e few tries or a lot, to make your whistle
turn into a Ney sound. Please remember to keep the airan
hole of your Ney closed and to blow second degree mild
breath.

Neyinizin arkasndaki arn perdesi kapal,

The sound you make by blowing second-degree

of the D note (NEV) sound of the Ney types in classical
music sound arrangement.

Yeri gelmiken nemle bilmeniz gereken bir hususu
belirtmek isterim; neyinizin eidi (tonu) ne olursa olsun
notalar hep ayn perdelerden kar (tabiidir ki frekanslar
deiir). Konuyu aacak olursak; rnein elinizde kz ney
olsun re (nev) sesi almak iin arn perdesini kapatp
ndeki tm perdeler ak halde iken 2. Devre lk nefes

ney de olsa idi re (nev) sesini karmak iin ayn yukarda
yaptmz gibi arn perdesi kapal ndeki perdeler ak ve
ikinci devre lk nefes fleyecektik. Buradan yola karsak
kanun, ud, tanbur ve buna benzer sazlarda grme

Neyle grme (transpose) yaparken ise sadece ney
deitirilip ayn perdelere baslr. Baz usta neyzenler ok
zor olmasna ramen ayn neyle grme (transpose)
yapabilmektedirler.
By the way Id like to underlie an important point;
whatever type of Ney yours is, the notes are played from the
same pitches (naturally the frequencies will change). That
is, if you are playing a kz Ney, you close the arn pitch
leaving the rest pitches in the front open and you blow
second stage mild breath in order to get the R (neva) sound.
If it was a mansur, ah, yldz or any other type of Ney you
were playing, you would blow second stage mild breath,
closing only the airan pitch to get the R (neva) sound, just
as you did before. When transposing in instruments such as
kanun, ud, tanbur, etc., the places of the transposed pitches
change, whereas when transposing in Ney, the Ney is
changed and the same pitches are closed. Some expert
Neyzens are able to transpose with the same Ney although
it is very difficult.

Re (nev) sesini oluturduktan sonra bu sesi
ortalama bir hafta srekli fleyerek altrma yapnz. Bu
almalar yaparken, nefes aln, dudanza bapreyi
koyup nefesiniz bitene kadar re (nev) fleyin, tekrar neyi
dudanzdan ekip nefes aln, ve tekrar koyarak nefesiniz
bitene kadar fleyin. Bu ilemi defalarca tekrarlaynz. Net,
berrak ve ok rahat bir nev sesi elde ettikten sonra,
neyinizi 10-15 kere dudanzdan ekip geri koyarak nev
fleyiniz, her fleyiinizde sesi hi aramadan, fler flemez
annda nevy karabiliyorsanz artk dizinizdeki gerek
tutu pozisyonuna geme zamannz gelmi demektir.
Unutulmasn ki metoddan ok iyi istifade edebilmek iin
kendi kendinizi kandrmadan tm sylenilenleri harfiyen
uygulamanz gerekir.
When you are able to make the D (neva) sound,
exercise by playing this sound continuously for about one
week. During these exercises, inhale, place the bapare on
your lips and play the D (neva) sound until you run out of
breath, then take the Ney away from your lips and inhale
again, and put it back and play until you run out of breath.
Repeat this again and again. After you are able to play a
clear D (neva) sound easily, play it by putting the Ney on
your lips and taking it back 10-15 times. If you can play the
D (neva) sound instantly every time you blow, without
seeking the sound, it means it is time for you to start
playing in the true position putting the Ney on your knee.
Remember that in order to benefit from the method you
need to follow the instructions to the letter without deceiving
yourself.
