THE NAI
The nai (archaic: muscal) is a Romanian diatonic pan flute used since the 17th century and used in lăutari bands.
The nai has usually at least 20 pipes made of bamboo or reed. They are arranged in a curved array, allowing a greater speed of play. Generally the longer, lower pipes are on the right. The pitch of each pipe is adjusted with beeswax; usually nais are tuned in G for Romanian folk music, or in C for classical. Traditional Romanian pan flutes have tubes with varying diameters which go from wide to narrow as you go up the scale, to maintain the volume/length ratio of the tube and therefore produce the best consistent tone quality.
Famous nai players: Damian Drăghici, Gheorghe Zamfir, Dana Dragomir, Constantin Moscovici
