@CGokce6 Saying the saz is not a Greek instrument is false. The saz is undeniably a Greek instrument the same way it is a Turkish one as both countries play the instrument and it is shared by both cultures. Also there are many different variations of the saz, mainly being the long and short neck variations but there are others like meydan saz and tambura saz, I personally play a long neck saz and I appreciate the common factors of both Greek and Turkish culture. Also, I would like to add that there is very little central Asian influence in Turkish music, and Turkey is way more similar as a culture to Greece and Bulgaria as compared to central Asia, ive been to both Bulgaria, Greece and Azerbaijan, and I would like to say that Turkish culture is more similar to Greece and Bulgaria.

@ÖmerRao-t7n hi I think you misunderstood. Please read on this matter and don’t take personal experience as fact. Historically the modern Turkish saz *influences* has been brought from Turkic migration to Anatolia. They were using an instrument called the kopuz and the migration coupled with influences in the region caused a fusion. Civilisations evolve in parallel. No one evolves in a vacuum. Calling the saz ‘undeniably’ greek is so wrong…it’s like saying yogurt is undeniably Greek. It’s more accurate saying that there was a cultural mash- a fusion that evolved with turkey using it mostly in its history. Variations of saz: Yes that it is true there is a lot of variations of saz. *However* , the tambura is not a saz. It is technically wrong (like I explained). You’re putting a square in a circle. Turkish music relies heavily on makams (complex modal systems), microtonal intervals, and Middle Eastern influences, reflecting its Ottoman and Turkic foundational heritage. Greek music, especially in Byzantine tradition, emphasizes diatonic scales, polyphony, and distinct tuning systems. In conclusion, you compared both instruments, while related, are distinct instruments with deeply different cultural roles. The statement there is no/little influence of Turkic culture in Turkish music is incorrect: If you understood the musical values you will see that Turkish music, yes, is influenced with surrounding countries and vice versa. No doubt. *But* Turkish music today incorporates pentatonic scales, microtonal tuning and most importantly storytelling through music -which they incorporate așik traditions rooted deeply in Central Asia. So yes it’s obviously similar to the music around it but don’t dismiss what the turkic influences are. Turkic roots remain foundational especially in folk traditions. Yes, Turkish culture would be similar to the neighbouring countries but *similarities does not negate distinctiveness*. Turkish elements in culture, folk music (türkü), folklore differentiates it from Greek and Bulgarian cultures. Just for context: I have a doctorate in Cultural Anthropology

@CGokce6 I appreciate the information, and I understand where you are coming from, I agree with most things you say. However, my belief of an instrument belonging to a culture is slightly different than yours. The saz is Originally a Turkish instrument, yes, and it's cousin the tambouras is originally Greek, but due to cultural interactions, Turkey and Greece share a lot of their culture, which is why I stated that the saz is Greek, because it is a part of Greek culture. I understand you are far more educated than me on the topic, and I'm neither Greek nor Turkish, but I just felt like sharing my opinion.

@ sure thing! I agree they share a lot in common and like I said the influences are both from the countries it neighbours as well as its original turkic origin.

@LucianRoman-tk4sx merry Christmas!

@@stefanreichenberger5091 thank you! 🙏

@@patrickbateman3146 I tune it similar to a laouto highest to lowest AGC but you can also tune it like a three string bouzouki D-A-D. Depends on what you are looking to play.

You cant just put an i at the end of everything then claim it to be greek

@ HAHAHA I didn’t claim anything. Greeks do also play this instrument as part of our repertoire. Certainly something to be said about cultures colliding and intermingling ;)

@@Dimitrios_Dallas Certainly something to be said about Baklava, Ayran, Cacik, and plenty other cultural heritagr

@@TEECEE46 yes yes saz baglama, Turkish instrument, blah blah blah. We know it's Turkish. In Greece it's called a sazi, because Greek words don't typically end with a "Z". Same thing with the Oud. It's called Outi because ending a word with a vowel like T is weird. Or the laouto being a lute. We don't claim it's a Greek instrument, and although it's not as popular as the bouzouki, it's still played in some Greek music. So calm down

@@mantistobogganm.d.6895 γεια σου φίλε μου!!!!

I play guitar and mandolino, but I’ve always been in love with the tone you get from the laouto. I have one , αλλά είναι σαράβαλο 😂 but Cretan music runs in my family . My dads first cousin/best friend growing up wrote Άστρα μη με μαλώνετε

@ that’s awesome man! Cretan laouto is one of my absolute favorites to play and listen to. Unique sound.
