as Turkish instruments, have different types which are tuned to
different chords in Turkish music. Also lengths of these variant
tuned nays are different. In addition they are called with the chord
system that they are tuned to.
Nay
Types:
Bolahenk,
sipurde, kiz and mansur are mostly used chord types in Turkish
Classical Music. So, Neyzens (Nay players) usually use these kinds
of nays. Nays that are longer than Mansur are mostly used for solo
performances.

generally start with kiz or mansur nays. Kiz and Mansur nays are a
little longer than average. Thus, if neyzen plays these nays
correctly, he will feel more comfortable while using shorter nays.
