Dear Alia
if you read ilahi notation. you understand that the names of the notes are actually positions on the ney, so sol concert on the page will be palyied by rast position when all holes are closed. same goes for arabic and turkish neys. turkish basic tuning is funny that way, they read sol on the page, but play re concert... because they play mostly on the area of mi hicaz, mi ussak, re rast re nihavent and so on, it varies concidering who is playing or singing. the big orchestras usually do so... bolahenk ney is the one going these scales.
and by the way, many of the pieces played by accomplished arabic players are by turkish well known composers like tanburi jamil bey, or refik fersan.
many of the arab written notation ive encountered is written in concert.
so i will probably need a"notes translator" to fit it to the ney i want to play, again, under the circumstances
hope that helped you.
i'de be happy to clear any puzzles
