As Geni says those are Albanian flutes, not neys. I think they're known as fyell, though Geni would certainly know better! They are similar to the kaval that's played throughout eastern Europe.

They are similiar to caval , different  wood, and different tunning.And totally diferent tunning from nay.

All flutes are cousins anyway..

Is the fyell played the same way a persian ney is?

Persian ney is killer - can not get a clear note out even after countless, countless I say, seconds of trying.

Turkish ney is more forgiving.

Re: Albanian Shakuhachi:-)

there was a guy from Albania playing this instrument at the Lark Music Camp this past summer. WOW! What an amazing sound and incredible music.  His friend played a bagpipe from Albania that was made from an entire goat. Cannot recall their names but amazing musicians and instruments!!

Re: Albanian Shakuhachi:-)

the name of the bagpipe is Gajde.
I can`t believe that there is a albania fyell player here.
Most of the time (99%) they are shepards (in this very remote areas) probably they won the Green Card Lottery:-)
Do you know their names?

I was working with a famous folk singer once, he wanted me to learn that flute. I tryed, it was hard as hell.
I was playing only clasical music than.
