Ingame Bağlama and Oud duet. Yes I filmed the screen with my phone. 1. İ suspect the street musicians are bugged. Firstly the Saz seems to play the Oud audio (I might be wrong). Second there is lotta trouble with the animations. And lastly I never heard a full band so far (Daf guy just chilling, not playing, come on!?) 2. Historically, it's not sure if the Saz as we know it now existed in 9th c...

On my trusty "Dombralama" which works wonderfully for european folk songs :]

That's a Kısa Sap Bağlama modified to be played like a Dombyra. Great fun! Song is an old German Minnesong by Walther von der Vogelweide (the melody, as far as I know, is French though). And here are the full lyrics: Under der linden an der heide, dâ unser zweier bette was, dâ muget ir vinden schône beide gebrochen bluomen unde gras. Vor dem walde in einem tal, tandaradei, schône sanc diu nahte...

I've watched tutorials on how to play the Kazak Dombyra. Apparently you play downstrokes with the index and upstrokes with the tumb nail and this worked surprisingly well on this song with finger Teke Tavrı. I need to practice more. This lil Bağlama is in Dombra-Tuning Aa (üst) - Dd (alt). Even with just those two courses a lot of turkish and european songs still work well. And it works even be...

trying to do it properly...

Teke tavrı practice... Tuning: Aa-Ddd (no middle course, yep)

A what? This buzzing sound was all the rage in medieval europe. Most commonly found on "Bray Harps" it was also added to Lutes, Gitterns and so on by binding a second, thicker fret right after the real fret. That's what I did on my Saz right here (the darker frets). This Saz is a kid's size Bağlama with the middle fret removed and tuned to Aa-Ddd. So it's more like a Dombıra, actually. The melo...

Modified Bağlama... Dombıra... Dombralama... Tuned AA-DDD, middle course removed. I also added double Frets/Perdeler to get a medieval "Bray" effect, but I made them more subtle for this song. Well, that's the cool parts of Fidayda/Hüdayda adapted for this tuning and it kinda works. I've still not decided what to do with the outro, so this randomly degrades into rubbish... Special thanks to Fat...

Save yourself the frustration and practice this first without strings! I made a very detailed close-up video here: ruclips.net/video/2TUk-8vNozY/видео.html However there will be some frets that sound terrible after you put the strings back on. Luckily you can fix this without wasting your shiny new strings: Redo the NEXT fret. If one fret makes a rattling noise, it's because the string hits the...

PLEASE pause, slow down or rewind the video if it is too fast. NO AUDIO. I tried, I failed. So I left it silent. This video shows how to make a new fret (perde) on a Turkish Saz instrument. It concentrates on the knot process only and does not show preparation (removing strings & frets etc) and finishing (tuning, stringing etc). Video is based on this tutorial from Engin Topuzkanamış: ruclips.n...
