The Baglama, also known as the Saz, is a beloved Turkish stringed instrument that finds use in different regions of Turkish folk music. Made from wood and with a pitch of approximately two octaves, the Baglama is played with a plectrum and has its roots in the ancient Kopuz.

If you’re more interested in classical Turkish music, then the Kanun is an undeniable expert of the genre with its unique sound and broad spectrum of pitches. It has a range and breadth of 3.5 octaves, making it a staple in orchestra ensembles throughout Middle Eastern countries, particularly Turkey. Its visual appeal has also been enhanced by female players who performed and showcased their works in palaces during bygone periods.

For those who prefer a more contemporary sound, we have the Cumbus, a musical instrument developed in the early 20th century that mimics the American banjo. Made of aluminum and with a leather chest board, the Cumbus can also be transformed into other instruments such as mandolin and guitar by simply changing the strings.

For the Tanbur, our selection includes a long-necked lute designed in compliance with the 24-interval system in Turkish music with 48 frets and a vocal range of three octaves. The Tanbur is played mostly as a seven-stringed musical instrument in Turkish classical music.

Lastly, if you’re interested in Istanbul’s musical heritage, you should consider the Louta, a unique version of the Oud that carries the unique moniker the ‘lute of the city.’ It has a wooden, stringed instrument with a pitch of about two octaves, played with a plectrum, and fashioned in a shape similar to the Oud.

At Boma Music, we believe that music is a universal language, and our goal is to share the richness and magnificence of Turkish stringed instruments with the world. Whether you’re a seasoned maestro or just starting to explore the world of music, we invite you to our website to find a Turkish string instrument that fits your style and budget.
