The ney is an end-blown flute that has been popular in the Middle East for about 5000 years - making it one of the oldest instruments in the world. Not surprisingly, it did not find use in western classical music until fairly recently. The most famous concerto for this instrument was composed by Fazil Say, a Turkish pianist and composer; it has the title "Hezarfen". On the one existing (live) recording, it is played by Burcu Karadağ with the Borusan İstanbul Filarmoni Orkestrası under Dan Ettinger on Naive.
