Mark, you must buy the baspares with the neys, I’m afraid. Each ney is different and the usta (maker) adjusts each baspare to fit each specific ney. Also, it’s better to buy one good instrument than several bad ones. So I think your best bet would be to forget the ones you have and buy one good one. You can buy more later in different keys as budget permits. On the “Links” page there are links to three good ney-makers in Istanbul: Rifat Varol, Hanefi Kirgiz and Mehmet Yucel. I have neys by all three. There may be other good makers online, but I don’t know them personally.
If you are in Sydney, I would be happy to have a look at the neys you have. I have a couple of neys for sale – email me kimzgaida@hotmail.com. I also teach ney.
It is a wonderful instrument. Good luck!
Just a thought: Maybe your neys are Arabic. They do not have baspares. Is the top (blowing) edge bevelled? In this case, you do not need baspares. – Kim
