I lived on the Black Sea coast in Samsun, Turkiyi. I saw a man carrying a baglama. I asked him where he got it. He led me to the shop. A master craftsman made a baglama for me for $15. I played it in folk coffee houses in the 60’s in New England. I appreciate the spiritual quality of this instrument. Your talent as a teacher in many fields is deeply respected. ❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thoroughly enjoyed this, particularly the history part. I first heard the baglama when I visited Konya, Turkey back in 2017 and I was immediately entranced by the sound, When I saw a shop selling them I decided to try a long neck one out. I play bass guitar as my main instrument, and with a little experimentation I was soon able to make satisfying sounds. I ended up buying that instrument and bringing it back to London. I probably enjoy playing it more than anything else.

much love to my greek brothers. In Armenia we call this instrument “saz.” its beautiful and has been used by Armenians for over 3,000 years. Archives have shown that Ancient Armenians played saz before going to war against Assyrians. It was believed to have brought Armenians good luck in battle against Assyria, bu please the mithraic Armenian god of war, Khaldi. We ofc do not believe in Armenian paganism anymore, but its an interesting piece of history.

I didn't hear it mentioned here, but a few modern players don't strike the strings with a wooden stick (I forget what its called) but fingerpick the strings instead. Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley, who passed away 3/3/23, played Saz and Oud fingerstyle, sometimes played Saz or Tambur with a violin bow, and had an electric Saz/Bouzouki he built from a Vox teardrop-shaped Bass Guitar body and a Bouzouki neck, as well as a custom-made electric Oud built by a guy named Najarian in California. Lindley's earliest musical interests were bluegrass banjo and violin, but he also studied Saz, Oud, Flamenco and Classical guitar, and he often played old English and American folk songs on Saz or Oud.

The tanbur cannot be considered purely in the history of the saz. The Turks in Anatolia originate from Central Asia. And they are a nomadic society that brought their music with them when they came from there. Although they were influenced by surrounding cultures, Turkmens continued their old traditions. I have a friend who reinterprets a modern folk song with an ancient instrument. This ancient instrument is called kopuz or dombra, the ancestor of the saz. Horse rhythm is widely used in Turkish folk songs from Central Asia to Turkey. If you listen carefully, you can notice this rhythm. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/nadme4ajeY-etoE.html

@FilipHolm
@FilipHolm Рік тому
It's always good if you have a local luthier or seller, so that you can try them out yourself. Otherwise, there are a few reputable sellers online, like Sala Muzik or some Turkish ones. People often say that it's better to start with a short neck Saz, because it is easier to play due to the shoter scale. But I would say your preference really matters more. Do you want the fuller, bassier sound? Then go with a long-necked one.

@FilipHolm
@FilipHolm Рік тому
Yes, definitely avoid the bazaars (when it comes to instruments). I know that Izmir has some excellent luthiers that make Saz/Baglama intruments. It depends on what your budget is. The best option is always to go directly to a luthier, but that is also pretty expensive. A middle of the way option would be to find a dedicated music store in Istanbul or Izmir. I saw plenty of them in Istanbul when I was there. Try some instruments out, see which one you like, or ask someone at the store if they seem knowledgeable.

So the Saz has no opening in front and three (3) strings, also looks like frets are on top as well.

It has three courses of strings. Usually two double-courses and a triple-course.

I think saying that "baglama derived from tanbur" is very controversial. There's modern tanbur and it's different. We gotta talk about Central Asian instrument "Kopuz - Komuz" . There's an instrument called "dutar" which is common in and around Iran. And the dutar is very similar to baglama and to the kopuz. I personally think that baglama derived from an instrument like kopuz. And it was a simpler version of the dutar. It turned into something like dutar and then turned into the modern baglama.

Magnifique. J'adore cet instrument je viens de l'acheter. Je ne peux trouver un(e) professeur pour l'apprendre. Malgré tout. J'habite à Chambéry france.

Fantastisk presentation av ett udda instrument. Hittade en på blocket i Falun där jag bor och ska åka och köpa den nu, så frågan är när du kör nästa kurs? :) MVH Thomas
