- As a Nay-player for now 40 years I would like to show you how to produce the sound with this technique of various flutes I build.
Take a look into my German Shop www.shakuhachi-shop.de

The best show and explain I ever seen on RUclips ! Thank you :)
As a flute player who plays cross flutes, vertical notched flutes and pan-pipes from S. America (usually in A-major) , recorders of fipple type mouthpiece ,and also can play the Shakuhachi , I am baffled and mystified on why I can't get a strong tone on a Nay . My friend brought me one from his trip to Turkey . I will keep at it and am glad to find such an experienced instructor who demonstrates detail of lip to diameter bore .
This simple act of blowing is difficult to translate to a novice like myself on such an instrument. I have always admired this sound in the Arabic music I listen to in my music collection, particularly belly-dance where I think I'm hearing the Nay . To see all the variety of bamboo flutes in the background is so fascinating to see. I make cross flutes from a mature grove of black bamboo that grows where my former instructor lives next to the American River in CA . I have since moved away, but I still have pieces waiting to be made that are cured and resonant. --From my past observation, the Nay I have played starts on the note B below middle C . The composite pipe length is 28 inches with 3/4 inch diameter. Will come back here because there isn't likely anyone better qualified than you to show me how its done , so I will truly be a miserable fat failure if I don't pick it up here. (half-joking).
I had it! Then I lost it. Surely I will find it again. Thanks so much! I have been trying to get started with nay for some time.
This is the greatest lesson ever i saw about nay and kawala thanks very much brother
Thank you for taking the time to make this video....I have always loved the flute.

Thanks, I actually forgot all about this film and watched it myself now for the first time.
Thank you for the Tutorial !
Thank you for your insight! I just purchased an Egyptian Kawala and there's definitely a learning curve, but videos like yours are a great help!
Joseph Acosta me too.. how will you learn? I cant find too many videos on youtube and 0 books online
@@geva90 actually I wrote a book about it, but in German. Check Amazon
Interesting to watch
yes, you were just real and normal in this clip.,I was looking under bamboo and came across it ,I have a Peruvian bamboo flute that has the notch on the top, someday hope to play it, God guide you on your path., and Thank you again*
very informative. thanks!
your welcome
Great
it's great job brother
Thanks for this video. Aaww, although I am playing other flutes since years, I can't get a tone out of my new rim blown flute. Since two days I am trying and trying for HOURS, watched all tutorials I could find, including this one here, but I can't get a tone out of it... Hope I will get it soon...
Salam, i'm very happy to find you here, i ve just started playing end blown flute. In Morocco we have a many similar end blown flutse, one in particular is played by berber musicians, and it seems to me that it is a mix of kawala and quena flute, they play mainly pentatonic sclaes, but they have 7 holes exactly like the quena, but the blowing technique is more like a kawala. i have a question, is the kawala diatonic or does it have quarter tones? or do you play quarter tones only by uncovering part of the holes? thank you for your answer
I'd like to buy a flute of yours a kawala pls. I love them so much

It is extremely difficult. I have been trying for a very long time...
thanks for the explanation .. i would suggest to get your website working in english .. some people dont understand dutch .. i am one of them .. i couldn't even shop properly .. just a suggestion my friend
Isn't Dutch, but German
@@sprachenwelt gotya .. but i guess he got my message thanks
hi how can i make my own nay ? thanx
learn German and buy my book
What do I do if I just cant ge a sound out of it, it is very weak and faint and no matter how much I try to put it on the edge it still doesnt work
Maybe your flute isn't good?
@@sprachenwelt probably, does it matter the quality of the fluet itself? What is the difference in the material types?
i couldn't produce any sound :(
Mistaken. You couldn't produce any sound.
The utaguchi (notch) on the shakuhachi is way too deep making playability an issue such as being able to play meri a semitone and half. The notch typically does not exceed 4 to 5mm on modern Japanese shakuhachis and if you look at an old edo-period shakuhachi it has an utaguchi that is typically 1mm deep. I like your other flutes though.
The eldest Shakuhachi have no utaguchi. And I cannot even count how many Shakuhachis have been sent to me, even from Japan, for restauration because of loose utaguchis and we are talking her 1,5 grand Shaks.
