Icon of Mistic Music With Its Peaceful Voice ;
'Ney'
Today, the ney s known as the
Turk sh nstrument and has
become a symbol of Suf mus c.
Instead of play ng, wh ch s used
for general mus cal nstruments,
the term blow ng s used for ney.
Blow ng here has a f gurat ve mean ng. It takes ts source
from the fact that n Islam, Allah blew the soul wh le
creat ng man. Another factor that enables one to be
affected by th s metaphor s; It s the sound of "Hû" when
blow ng the ney, just l ke "Tü" sounds when play ng the
flute and "Fü" sounds for the s de flute. Hu means "He" n
Suf sm.
Here s a l nk f you wonder
about the fasc nat ng vo ce of
'ney'
