Abdel Hamid Machal is an Egyptian musician and musicologist born in Cairo in 1926. He started playing the flute at the age of fifteen under the guidance of Professor Ahmed Daddah. After a course of intensive study at the Union Music Institute in Cairo dedicated to learning the Maqam and the rhythmic variations of Arab music, he started working as a musician along with various musical groups. In time, his musical compositions and his melodies performed with Ney (the Arab flute) were broadcast by all Arab radios. He has performed in various concerts both in the Arab world and in Europe and has settled for a time in Libya to work and study. On his return home, he published in 1967 a manual for the study of ney according to a scientific method that elevated the theoretical approach to learning Arabic flute.
