All About Short Neck Baglama Saz

Baglama has been the instrument of the minstrels in Turkey for centuries. Short neck baglama is a type of baglama. 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 the countryside.

The most important feature of short neck baglama is that it is designed to be played only in a baglama saz arrangement. It helps to increase your interest in the instrument due to the melodies being played easily. Its use has increased in recent years due to the fact that it is easier and shorter to learn than the long neck baglama, the parallel melodies that come out with parallel basses, and the melodies that cause difficulties in long neck baglama can be played more easily with the short neck baglama. The playing of local melodies is more limited in arabesque music than long neck baglama. 

Short neck baglama saz body length may vary from 38 to 42 cm and have strings of 0.18mm. Short neck baglama saz is tuned differently; it is tuned in baglama tuning. In a short neck baglama, the bottom course is tuned to D, the middle course is tuned to G and the top strings are tuned to A.

When you play a tune on a short neck baglama, you do not have to make big leaps with your hands while performing, so it is said that it is more comfortable to play a short-neck baglama.
