Musical instrument
The mey is a double-reed aerophone used in Turkish folk music. The "mey", "duduk", and "balaban" are almost identical, except for historical and geographical differences.
Description.
A "mey" consists of three parts: "ana gövde" (main part), "kamış" (reed), and "kıskaç" (clip). 
History.
There are many instruments similar to the "mey" in Eurasia. These include the European "aulos" and "douçaine ", the Azerbaijani/Iranian "balaban", the Uyghur "balaman", the Dagestani "yasti balaban", the Georgian "duduki", the Armenian "duduk", the Japanese "hichiriki", the Korean "piri", the Chinese "guanzi" and "houguan", the Kyrgyz "kamis sirnay", and the Cambodian "pey au".
Musicologists like Farmer (1936: 316) and Picken (1975: 480) have suggested that the ancient wind instruments "mait", "monaulos", and "auloi" present major resemblances with the "mey" and the other similar instruments. In Hellenistic Egypt, there was an instrument called "mait" or "monaulos" which was similar to the "mey" and there was another one in Anatolia which was called "auloi" and its picture was found on a vase.
