    This document describes a bass PVC Persian Ney, a type of flute developed from traditional Iranian cane flutes. It has a unique tone quality due to being played inside the mouth, allowing for expressive vibrato, half-tone bends, and pressure bends. As a modal instrument, it is effective at evoking Middle Eastern atmospheres and has an airy, liquid tone similar to a bass flute, with an expressive, pensive quality suited to legato phrasing in the mid-low range of a mix.

    Bass PVC Pe rsian Ney

    (A development from the trad. Flute of Iran)

    Main [solo] Instrument: In the key of ‘C’


    [Fingered by closing all holes]

    Intro: This one-of-a-kind design, is an offshoot of the trad. cane flute


    from Iran. Its extremely unique tone quality is consequence of the
    ‘interdental’ embouchure [the mouthpiece is played inside the mouth…].
    This allows for beautifully expressive vibrati, half-tone lip & pressure
    bends.

    Idiosyncrasy:
    • It is a modal instrument, very effective evoking
    mid. Eastern atmospheres
    • ‘Bass flute’-like sounding, with an ‘airy’, ‘liquid’,
    tone.
    • Very expressive, ‘pensive’ tone quality

    • Favors legato phrasing

    • While not having a strongly high-harmonic spectrum


    content, can seat well in mid-low range of the mix
    • Good for long held vocal-like lines
    • Fast/articulated passages difficult.

    Basic Scales:
