If a single instrument were to represent Turkish folk music it would have to be the baglama cause it is used to express both joyful and sad emotions by the Turkish folk throughout the history. This instrument is played with a Mizrap or Tezene made from cherry wood bark or plastic and fingers are used in some regions. There are pitches on the sap tied with fish line. There are pieces called burgu (screw) at the end of the sap which is opposite to tekne part to which the strings are tied. The gogus part is made from spruce and the sap section from homespun or juniper. Tekne part is generally made from mulberry trees as well as from woods of juniper, beech, spruce or walnut. It has three main parts called Tekne, Gogus and Sap. It takes different names according to the regions and according to its size. “Baglama” is the most commonly used string folk instrument in Turkey. We are proud to announce “Turkish Baglama” a collection of traditional baglama melodies that have been professionally played by exceptional musicians to reflect its unique and characteristic sounds.
