Tanbur's string - neck gap is a lot wider. You cannot control the top string with your thumb, kind of impractical. It doesn't sound good. For the tuning; we always use the bottom string unless the note is so low or the passage is too fast to catch. Also The lower string is steel, but mid-string is brass. The timbre changes a lot and doesn't sound good. That's why tuning in 4th's or 5th's not useful. We use the top strings for symphatetic resonances -sake of timbre quality-.
Merhaba, Mızrap da kısa ve uzun olmak üzere iki yanak var ve bu yanaklarda belirli açılarla açılmış durumda. Tele değme anında bu açılı kısmın sivri alanı mı geliyor yoksa açı verilmiş kısım mı tele değiyor?
The name tanbur dates back to 800 BC (obviously before the arrival of Turks) and it indicated both pear shaped and bowl shaped instruments. These days, as far as I know, only the Mediterranean Turks have kept the bowl shaped version, and its tuning and playstyle are also fairly specific to Turkish culture
The Tanbur is basically like a Baritone Saz because it uses a Pick but it's tuned to a super low pitch
Why don't I ever see people tune the Tanbur GDA, and utilize the thumb like on the Saz?
