Nay Dimensions

SamirCanada - 10-21-2007 at 07:20 PM

I would like to know the dimensions of the different Nays...
is there someone who would have this information.

Or someone that has a nay Set and is willing to take some mesurements for me.

I would need the following dimentions for the 7 main Nays.
1- Diameter (width of the hole)
2- Lenght
3- Distance from the ege to the different holes.

Iam experimenting making some out of PVC and so I would appreciate the INFO.

I ran across the Tribes ney forum a while ago myself and found the following that you might be interested in:

Specifically:

And I'm assuming you have seen this site as well:

Would be interested in seeing your results here once you get one/few completed!

nay

charlieyarak - 10-18-2011 at 06:31 PM

my theory is that you divide the nay into 26 parts.
the holes will be from bottom: 4/26, 5/26, 6/26, 8/26, 9/26, 10/26
and the thumb hole will be of course 13/26.

Is this correct?
