About Egyptian Ney:
The Ney is the soul instrument in the Arabic music. It has also been called the salt and pepper of Arabic music. The current name is the word "Ney" which is Persian for "reed" . It is the material from which the Ney is made. Because of the different dialects of Arabic, the name may be written in different forms in the English Language. In some parts of Egypt, a Ney is referred to as Qassaba which is the colloquial word for a piece of reed. I am quite certain this instrument had many different names in the past.

It is more
than 5 thousand years old. The oldest forms of the Ney dates back to the age of the pyramids.
It is an end-blown flute with seven finger holes. Six in the front and one in the back. The Ney is made of a nine-segment section of reed. This is very important for the Ney to work properly. The first node at the wider mouthpiece end opened with a part of the node left making a small hole, and the other nodes fully opened, with an outside bevel around the embouchure. There are six holes on top and one hole for the thumb on the bottom. The traditional Ney is made of Nile Reed.
