The Turkish mey is a woodwind instrument with a large double reed  in a slender cylindrical shape, traditionally turned from apricot wood and with seven frontal tone holes and a thumb hole between the first and second finger holes. This example is an Ana Mey, the big Mey or "mother". The gently bulging tip of the instrument has an enlarged opening to accommodate the mouthpiece.
