I've been interested in middle eastern music lately and came across turkish saz music on Youtube. I play guitar but this music requires instruments that can play quarter tones. The frets in the saz are spaced to accommodate those. I took the plunge and ordered this instrument, a long neck version. It took over a month to get here from Istanbul, mostly being delayed at NJ customs. Packaging was excellent.
It's a well built instrument, all solid wood (no ply). Saz/baglamas are popular folk instruments and tend to be spartan, as this one is, in the sense that a basic Martin guitar is spartan. The neck is a single piece of hardwood for both neck and fingerboard, and there is no decorative ornamentation. The sound board is solid spruce. Overall it's quite nice looking, particularly the mahogany bowl. The build is professional and well finished. The wooden pegs work well and are easy to tune. Extra set of strings, two picks, and thin gig bag included.
Salamusik also has good instructions on their site on how to tune - great responsive people as well.
I'll be having fun learning how to play.
Highly recommended.
