You are welcome to my website to see many more beautiful instruments like these and also amazing online courses that teach you how to play all the different tunings and sizes: baraksaz.com
I recently got one and I can tell you it's pure pleasure to play. Very different from a guitar but it's a new musical dimension. Uplifting, I'd say. So don't hesitate to get a saz. You'll enjoy yourself for sure.
Saz has only 3 open notes. What sounds like a limitation is in truth a portal to endless freedom and creativity. Its easier to learn and grasp your possibilities, thus its easier to be creative and start to find your own sound. The instrument is still deep enough to fill your whole life on the path to be a master.
Thank you, ❤ you’re welcome to my website for more information baraksaz.com And also you find there (when it’s time for you) my online courses for short neck and also for long neck.Saz Baglama And instruments as Well
@@staybolt8602 how do you tune your instrument? Bottom string close to the floor is A? They are different types, so it depends on how you tune it and then I can let you know Can you make the bottom string close to the floor on C?
@@BarakSazBaglama I'm not entirely sure how to tune it 😅. I am just starting out, and most of my inspiration has come from listening to Mehmet Erenler. In his videos I noticed he is playing what looks like a divan saz with 32 frets, but I do not know how it is tuned
@@staybolt8602 Mehmet Erenler is a great inspiration, indeed, I need to see your instrument and then I can know, but did you try that unit if you can tune it on bottom string close to the floor on C that would be great and you can take the long neck course, for Divan Saz that technique / study is anyhow for Long neck
@@staybolt8602 this is the long neck online course which suits your instrument baraksaz.com/barak-saz-baglama-online-course/ If you have a normal instrument, long neck, that would be great for you, and even if you have a big Divan Saz - you could always make the strings loose and study with the Course, and then you can tighten the strings afterwards, to the normal position The tuning should be for long : ruclips.net/video/KBTfl5cZv24/видео.htmlsi=EW6T1RLwHzR0YTT3

@@BarakSazBaglama thank you my friend,,I will look into this more over the weekend, I have a friend who runs a folk music shop,he is looking out for a long neck for me and last night I contacted a guy in Turkey who has a great selection, will take my time and do my homework beforehand, probably have to sell one of my guitars aswell but this will happen and I will definitely be in touch to discuss lessons in the future. I also play 5 string banjo which I love but have always enjoyed Eastern sounds,they are so different from the mainly blues based scales that western music is generally structured around.Will be in touch Tessekur
@@paulceneybarbershop5146 ok good luck. I have 30 years of experience in teaching in English this beautiful in Smith , and it’s most important for me to have the best quality instruments- but also as I mentioned, i have a free instrument !! that you can receive with the Online Course - the Online Course is amazing. I recommend it for you. It will teach you so much and everything you need to know about how to play this beautiful instrument , even if you don’t have an instrument yet, and you take the online course- you will learn so much and prepare yourself towards the moment you will receive the instrument. Anyhow, good luck with the music. Most important is that you have a passion for it🔥
@BarakSazBaglama after measuring the divan saz, it seems the distance between the bridge and the nut is around 107cm. Should I try to tune it to kara duzeni? With string closest to the floor being on C4, would I need to tune it one or two octaves below the tuning you showed for long neck?
My wife bought me a really nice Turkish made Cura Saz for Christmas. I am in the USA and cannot find any instruction books or even music, in English. Do you have any suggestions or know of a source for English language books and music? Thanks.
Hi Congratulations it’s a beautiful instrument ✨ The teaching for Cura is exactly like the teaching for the long/short neck Saz online courses. It is also quite difficult to learn from books and the English teaching for this instrument are very few. I would recommend you to take the short neck online course (with the Cura) . baraksaz.com/learn-how-to-play-short-saz-baglama/ you can lower the strings just for the time you’re taking the course (it would sound a bit loose, but it’s OK. You can take the course with it and after you finish and learn everything you can bring it back to the normal position,) so you can practice together on the same note as the course ,after you finish the course you can tighten the strings again. I recommend the short neck because the Cura will be more close to it - to compare the notes for them to be the same -it’s possible to lower the notes of the Cura to reach the short neck notes - to be able to take the course with it) The Cura is usually tuned: A (la) (bottom string close to the floor) D (re) middle string E (mi) upper string close to the ceiling (sometimes its one note down/lower) To take the short neck course, you should lower the strings, so your Cura will be tuned: E (mi) (bottom string close to the floor) A (la) middle string B (si ) upper string close to the ceiling This is the tuning lesson on RUclips for short neck. ruclips.net/video/L67LiQ8QVEc/видео.html You can lower the strings and make the Cura the same. It’s only for the duration of the course afterwards you can make the strings as they should be again You have everything you need to learn on how to play on the Cura - in the short neck course - I really recommend it
Hello, usually the common one is to start with a long neck Saz Baglama , but it’s also possible to start with a short neck. on my website you can see two different pre-recorded online courses : baraksaz.com one for long neck and one for short neck. You can start with the long neck. it’s very clear and many people from all over the world take this course and send me videos and progress very nicely, ruclips.net/video/ZPVKs7uPKzc/видео.htmlsi=x_2UbYLKlQDSUvwe In the course you learn all the different techniques, picking styles and beautiful melodies.
When I tune my long neck down to G C F it becomes quiet and very loose. I currently have 0.20 on it. Could I use divan strings 0.25 to get better tension and volume with that lower tuning? Nice video!
Hello Welcome to my website for many tutorials: www.Baraksaz.com You have a long neck with 23 frets so it should be tuned C F A# Then it would not be so loose Like in this video : ruclips.net/video/KBTfl5cZv24/видео.html If it’s a huge instrument called Divansaz so the tuning is A D G
Hi, welcome to my website where you can see my Online Course ,I recommend for you to take it: baraksaz.com It’s the same teaching in the beginning / the same basic- for an acoustic or electric Saz - You’ll be very happy with this course + the knowledge,different techniques, picking styles and beautiful melodies that are thought during the course Here you can see how that you the long neck Saz : ruclips.net/video/KBTfl5cZv24/видео.htmlsi=GzrhJyIEnM5IxCx4 For the short neck, there are usually 19 frets For the long neck there are usually 23 ,I would assume yours is a long neck also because electric are usually long neck Good luck
