Premium Darbuka Strap

Worked great

Used it during a concert and it performed really well. Allows for greater dynamics

Gorgeous alone doesn't describe its Beauty!

I am a dragon collector, so for that reason alone, I bought this drum. I was beyond pleasantly surpised by the stunnning blue pearl and technical details of the dragons.
And, then the playability and sound are, simply put, WOW! Thanks Arab Instruments.

On Ney Course #1

Stuying and practicing with the introductory Ney course has been of great help to add up a systematic approach and practice particular aspects (expressive dynamics, color, different vibrato types, scale patterns...), and even an additional basis for the meditative approach, using the instrument as a form of breathing prayer, attention, body intelligence, etc. Niri is a great teacher, really committed to communicate with passion, and the course is a great complement to all the free lessons already publish in YouTube with tunes, makams and so on. I recommend it both for beginners and those which already had some initial experience, learning a few tunes etc (like myself). I look forward to keep practicing with the other lessons. Warm wishes from Spain

Premium Darbuka Strap

Excellent Ney

Very nicely crafted instrument, the sound is mellow and beautiful. Tuning is really good. I also benefited from great guidance of the store and kind advice from the ney maker in person

Thumbs up

Super awesome case! High quality at its best!

Shukran!

I haven’t been so excited since I bought my first guitar when I was 12 years old. I absolutely love this instrument. I can’t stop practicing. I am a complete amateur as far as the Ney is concerned and my sound is inconsistent but even so the sound of this beautiful rifat varol mansour Ney seems to be coming from all over the room and out of my body and saturating my mind all at once. It is such a beautiful sound!
And I haven’t been so happy about the process of buying anything ever. It was so easy to order on line. The videos I had seen from Niri had inspired me and I knew exactly what I wanted. The Ney arrived pretty quickly to Australia and it was so exciting to see all the Turkish postal markings on it. And a hand written note. The hard case is beautiful The Ney is so beautiful to look at and smells really nice and as I said the sound is heavenly.

My wife has started asking me to practice at night to help her get to sleep! 😂😂😂 (I promise it’s not my playing it’s just the wonderful sound of the instrument)

Your service and support been really wonderful from the very first Niri videos to the promotion delivery and your quick responses to questions. It’s all very much appreciated.

A question

About to order and i just want to know that does it come with some kind of bag or packaging? If someone can tell ill be grateful.

Hello
You can buy a case here: https://www.arabinstruments.com/products/ney-hard-case
This model doesn't come with a case.

Thanks

A great 1:1 class with Niri

Niri combines the experience and knowledge of the ney with a talent to teach and that hour with him has put me on a great path forward with this instrument. He quickly assessed where I was along the learning curve and gave me plenty of exercises for offline practice.
I'll keep coming back and doing more sessions with him in the future.
Highly recommended.

Nice n' Tight

You guys really delivered - and quickly - to my Toronto pad. The hand-hammered copper drum has a wonderful shine and smooth finish. I'm no drumming ace yet, but look forward to many hours spent with this baby on my thigh, practicing beats. Good stuff! - Bill

Ney Lesson for Beginners - Mini Practical Course #1

Fast delivery and excellent drum sound !

Good service and fast delivery. The parcel fully protected. So great!

Very recommended

So many exercises and ways to improve your ney playing. Niri is the best teacher.

Love it

Exceptional instrument! This is top-notch quality craftsmanship. Five stars all around

My best purchase

At last, a strap capable of supporting my hefty darbuka. I'll be using it for all my events. Thank you immensely, and please maintain the exceptional work!

Wundervolle Darbuka, sehr guter Klang !

Die prächtige , sehr Edel anmutende Darabuka kam bereits nach knapp einer Woche in Deutschland an. Ihr Klang ist Perfekt . Man hört deutlich den Unterschied zu billigeren Trommeln. Ich bin glücklich mit diesem Meisterwerk :-) Großes Kompliment an Arab Instruments :-)

Very nice bravo arab instruments

Very very good bravo arab instruments

Good customer service. Terrible shipping time

Fantastic customer service

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Typically, in the month leading up to Christmas, we experience some delays, but we're pleased to hear that your ney reached you successfully.

Thank you

It is what I expected and plays wonderful sounds.

Absolutely love this model!

Absolutely love this model! Got it in just 8 days with FedEx, and the darbuka arrived in perfect condition. I've purchased from this website before, grabbing the Gawharet El Fan sombaty darbuka and the Emin black sombaty darbuka. What stands out about this model is how it combines the best of both worlds.

With its 8 pegs, it delivers sharp and accurate strokes, especially the "Tac" and the "slap" like the Emin darbuka. The wide structure at the bottom also gives you that Egyptian "Doom" sound, which I really appreciate. This combination provides a variety of sounds in one stunning darbuka.

Now, in terms of looks, the marble shiny appearance is a personal favorite, although, for me, the sound is the most crucial factor. If this design isn't your thing, there are other Egyptian models available with 8 pegs – trust me, it's worth it.

What I love even more about this purchase is the free head cover to protect the head. The default case that came with it is much more padded compared to the one I got with the Gawharet El Fan darbuka. Even the tuning key comes with a pocket featuring the Arab Instruments logo. They really pay attention to the small details that make your purchase worthwhile!

In my opinion, though the price is a bit steep, this will undoubtedly be my favorite drum. Keep up the excellent work, Arab Instruments!

Thank you so much for your review❤
