Thanks a lot you all.

All I knew was that tehre was a difference in size, and tehrefore a difference in sound. The musicschool I found only offers saz lessons, but it will be a good start. I want to play folk songs anyway, but i think it will take a looong time before I can. I dont think I have that eastern feeling for rhythm in me, but a good teacher can make me at least learn the basics.

Im not sure if I can afford it all, but I wont have to decide till şeker bayramı.

The prices here for saz will be higher, because they are imported.


Ohh I really hope I can take classes once a week It would be such a nice and different approach to expand my knowledge on Turkish music!

Im looking for lessons for either of these instruments, though I am not sure if i can afford it. But I was wodnering this.. if you can play saz, is it difficult to learn bağlama, or is it played the same but just the size different? So that all you would have to take in account is the bigger position of your fingers? Or is there more to it?


And what would the price of a simple öğrenci sazı be?

pressure cooker - düdüklü

If I were in Turkey, Id agree with you!

Tastes differ, but for me some blood tears on the cheeks and 'strawberry gashes' over the arms, would make the picture perfect.


As for portokal:
