Baglama - Professional String Instrument Short Neck
General Description:
The Baglama (bağlama), also known as Saz is a traditional Turkish stringed instrument, commonly used in folk and classical music across Turkey, the Balkans, and parts of the Middle East. It belongs to the lute family and is known for its deep, resonant sound and expressive capabilities. The baglama typically has a pear-shaped wooden body, a long neck, and a varying number of strings—usually 7, arranged in 3 courses (pairs of strings) or 4 courses in modern versions. These strings are traditionally made of metal and are played with a plectrum called a mizrap or pick.
The baglama is often tuned in different ways depending on the style of music being performed, and it can produce both melodic and rhythmic patterns. Its versatility allows it to play both harmonic accompaniment and intricate solo melodies. The instrument is played in many regional styles, with varying techniques and tunings, making it an essential part of Turkish folk music, as well as other regional musical traditions. The baglama has a distinctive sound—rich, warm, and slightly mournful—which makes it ideal for conveying emotional depth in songs that often reflect themes of longing, love, and loss.
