Saz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Saz (from Persian: ساز sāz, "music") is a Plucked string instrument, popular in Turkey, Azerbaijan,[citation needed] Armenia,[citation needed] Iran,[citation needed], and the Balkan countries.[citation needed]
The saz is a member of the long-necked lute family which arrived in Asia minor. The saz was descended from the kopuz; this is a generic name for several forms of stringed instrument. The Saz is used in Ottoman classical music, Turkish folk music, Kurdish music, Azeri music and Persian music.
