TURKISH SHORT NECK BAGLAMA(SAZ) w/ SOFT CASE
This is a brand new Turkish short neck Baglama (aka Saz) made by our luthiers in Turkey.
This saz bears a Walnut Bowl, a spruce top (also used in other Turkish instruments such as ouds) and 19 frets. Bridge to nut is 71 cm (28 inches)  and the size of the bowl is 41 cm (around 16 inches). The width and the depth  of the instrument is around 9 inches.
We will wire your Baglama with a new set of strings and include a separate set of strings for future use.

About the Turkish Baglama:
Baglama is the most commonly used string folk instrument in Turkey. It has seven strings that are divided into courses of two, two and three.
A baglama has three main parts, the bowl (called tekne), made from mulberry wood or juniper, beech, spruce or walnut, the spruce sound board (göğüs) and a neck of beech or juniper (sap). The tuning pegs are known as burgu (literally screw). Frets are tied to the sap with fishing line, which allows them to be adjusted. The bağlama is usually played with a mızrap or tezene (similar to a guitar pick) made from cherrywood bark or plastic. In some regions, it is played with the fingers in a style known as Şelpe or Şerpe.
There are also electric bağlamas, which can be connected to an amplifier. These can have either single or double pickups.
