- Baglama has been the instrument of the minstrels in Turkey for centuries. Minstrels have expressed people's love, sorrow, resentments, and happiness with Baglama; they conveyed our tales the same way. On the other hand, Baglama is also played for entertainment purposes in cities and in country side. Baglama is a pear-shaped lute, it can be long-necked and short-necked. It is also called Saz which simply means “instrument” in Turkish. Baglama is one of the most widely-played instruments in Turkey. If you have decided to play this special instrument, we offer you a wide range of Baglama types in our store. Our Baglamas are grouped as standard, professional and special Baglama depending on the musician’s needs. They are all hand-made and are in good quality so as they can respond to the requirements of a Baglama player. We present in our catalogue Long Neck Saz , Short Neck Baglama, and Electric Saz varieties. We believe you will find the most suitable Baglama among the Baglamas in our collection at the best value

I’m gonna order a saz from you guys this video is gonna help me out a lot thank you friends!
The legend has spoken
Thank you, i just bought a long neck baglama and am learning :)
спасибо!!!
Thanks for the video, I usually tune BEA on my long-neck saz, because ADG it's too loose, but CFA# it's too tight for my taste.
What about making some quick song tutorials for beginners? I think it would be great to motivate people to buy and learn this wonderful instrument.
Cheers from Chile, South America !!! 😄
Thank you for comment :)
I also like BEA :)
These tunings change by bowl. Some Bowls big, some small so tuning change.
We will make quick song tutorials in near future. For now we make How to Tune instruments Videos.
Within 2 weeks we will upload How to change Saz strings :)
Best regards,
Veysel

Just bought a long neck baglama and I love the sound, but the lower octave Sol feels really loose. Is this correct? I've never played one before or held a properly set up baglama so I don't know if I'm doing it correctly 😅 thanks!
Hello, you can tune bottom strings B or C so it will be better for you. Do you know how to do? if not, I can help you
That makes sense, I'll give that a try! Awesome video, thanks a lot 😊
i’m from kurdistan and i have question: how i make my baglama the turkish one i mean the tunes
Saz tonlarını ayarlamak için uygulamanın adı nedir?
I bought a baglama from your store online, how can I tune it? Would a guitar tuner work?
Yes, you can use a guitar tuner. You need to choose chromatic on the tuner
Hi! A bit off-topic question: I got a short-neck saz and after a week a fret buzz appeared on the first fret only (the lower and the upper strings only, not the middle strings) - any ideas how to fix that? Thank you!
Hi, which tuning do you use?
@@SalaMuzik I tuned up to Si (Üst) - La - Mi (Alt) to prevent the fret buzz (and even put a piece of plastic under the bridge to lift it a bit, but the fret buzz remained (and unfortunately broke the first string, so I tuned down to La - Sol - Re)
Hi. All good. Thank you. But what do you actually tune each of 3 strings. ie, lowest strings are tuned to octave. Middle unison same i believe. What about the top 2 strings? Octave or same. İ mostly hear them in octave but not quite sure.
First, to make sure you have the correct strings: on both, short and long neck, the strings are (from your head to your feet) thick-thin thin-thin thick-thin-thin.
The basic tuning for short neck goes A2-A3 G3-G3 D3-D4-D4
The basic tuning for long neck goes G2-G3 D3-D3 A2-A3-A3
There are tuners/apps that display the octave numbers.
But, as said in the video: most of the time, you make all strings a lil bit tighter and go up one or half a note. as long as all strings have the same offset, it's alright.
This is the most common way to tune, there are many variants. occasionally you'll even see a thick string in the middle course (I prefer this...)
Selamϋn aleykϋm.. I'm from Bosnia. We have beautiful saz-ʂarkılar.. For example, you can listen "dr. Hasim Muharemović - Omer i Mejrima" on youtube.. CZcams u really must hear it.. It's beautiful
I just got an electric saz and the fine tuners near the bride are very stiff and the wooden tuning pegs don't stay in place... Any advice?
Hello,
Did you push pegs inside? When you turn pegs, please push inside and turn them. if it does not work, you can put some powder on the pegs.
@@SalaMuzik I have a long neck saz made by Yılmaz İpek (Izmir) way back in the 1970s. At that time, there were no machine tuners, and I have always had trouble getting the pegs to hold their position. Then, a few years ago, I discovered that violins often have the same problem with slipping pegs. So now I use the violinist's solution: peg drops. They're sold by almost any music store, and online. Put *a very small amount* on the peg (one peg at a time), and then push it into the hold and tune it. Then move on to the next peg. Works great!
@@trulyawfulguitar Thank you for the great advice. We made a video for oud pegs.

This video also help a lot

@@trulyawfulguitar Hi what is peg drop
where do I find the chords for this tuning?? many thx!!
do you want new strings?
Chords as in guitar chords? To accompany songs?
Traditionally a Bağlama is not used in this way. In turkish songs the Saz plays the singing melody note for note, most of the time. Chords are sometimes played for emphasis.
However, there is one book with chord tables for different tunings: Bağlama Için Akor Şemaları - by Ziya Bulgurcu.
How about turning short neck? Just like Long Neck? Thank you very much.
No, short neck is different
Short neck: RE SOL LA (From bottom to up)
Or : MI LA SI
Sala Muzik abi bunun harfleri ne oluyor?
Give me the name of these program please
its called daTuner
pls elektro saz tune?
it is the same as long neck
i see two different tunings for these online from different places - one that is tuned in 5ths like this video and one that is tuned with C on the top string, Bb on the middle string, and F on the bottom string (or other notes but with the same intervals). can you use either of these tunings on both long and short neck saz or is one tuning used on long necks and the other tuning used on short necks?
The GG-DD-AAA tuning is called "Kara Düzen" and is more common on the Long Neck Saz. The AA-GG-DDD Tuning is called "Bağlama Düzen" and is more common on shortneck. There are many more, local tunings.
If you have a long neck Saz and drop the GG course to EE you can turn it into a shortneck saz by putting a Capo in fret 7. if I remember correctly...
@@sazstuff6547 Oh that's interesting! I never made that connection with the tunings before - how the difference between them is just moving that bottom string around. This also gets at another question I've had - do the long-neck saz have a middle string like the short-neck saz? By this I mean, is the middle string two strings tuned to the same note as opposed to the outside strings being in octaves? Thanks for your reply!
@@RobWickline Yes. The most common configuration for the middle course is two thin strings of the same thickness and same tuning.
Both on long neck and short neck. But occasionally you'll see people use an octave bass string in the middle course, instead (thick-thin).
I'm not sure why the middle string does not have the octave tuning by default. Maybe some Expert Saz player here knows? 🤓
I think some playing styles like "Zeybek" are often played with the octave middle course 🤔
Personally, I love the sound of the Octave D-d middle course on a Long Neck Saz, since it's the "lowest" of the courses and playing string changes sound more "fluid"...
On my Short Neck Saz I keep the middle course with "default" double thin strings, mainly because I get lessons and it's easier to follow unmodified.
@@sazstuff6547 are you to mean these tunings are from top to bottom, as it sits in your lap? facing it it, left to right?
hello Sala music ! i have a saz, made by ali osmanTIKIKAYI,in 1995...lenght of strings from sillet to the point of where the strings are tied...83 cms..could you advise me a set of good soundind strings? thank you! techekur ! jean-luc vezier

@@SalaMuzik je suis kabyle et Musicien mon 'instrument s'appelle le mandole 10 cordes, j'ai toujours adoré le saz, envoyer moi les notes, si vous pouvez me renseigner sur le prix et je pourrais trouver un saz merci d'avance
So Saz are tuned in Fifths like violin? Interesting
Long neck saz is not Turkish but kurdish instrument, baghlama is a turkish instrument, just to be clear and i am not trying to be racist or anything i don't care abt the political views and i don't care about the ppl who will answer this comment .
Heval, can you Tell me how to tune long neck baglama for kurdish Songs?
@@NalinBeza it depends on the Song it self after u hear it , and after u find out the lowest and highest tune used in that song and tune the Saz depends on it, try it on down: Mi middle: Re up: Mi, and down: Si middle: Re up: La, and down: Si# middle: Mi# up: La# as Examples
KURDISH, not turkish
Kurdyyy no it is not. Dont claim something that is not ours. That instrument central asia oriented.
Saz is a Turkish name and Turkish instrument
Dont be ignorant as always you kurds are
@@Enes-wj5xq saz is farsi word baglama is turkish gardasim
