Hi Congratulations it’s a beautiful instrument ✨ The teaching for Cura is exactly like the teaching for the long/short neck Saz online courses. It is also quite difficult to learn from books and the English teaching for this instrument are very few. I would recommend you to take the short neck online course (with the Cura) . baraksaz.com/learn-how-to-play-short-saz-baglama/ you can lower the strings just for the time you’re taking the course (it would sound a bit loose, but it’s OK. You can take the course with it and after you finish and learn everything you can bring it back to the normal position,) so you can practice together on the same note as the course ,after you finish the course you can tighten the strings again. I recommend the short neck because the Cura will be more close to it - to compare the notes for them to be the same -it’s possible to lower the notes of the Cura to reach the short neck notes - to be able to take the course with it) The Cura is usually tuned: A (la) (bottom string close to the floor) D (re) middle string E (mi) upper string close to the ceiling (sometimes its one note down/lower) To take the short neck course, you should lower the strings, so your Cura will be tuned: E (mi) (bottom string close to the floor) A (la) middle string B (si ) upper string close to the ceiling This is the tuning lesson on UA-cam for short neck. ua-cam.com/video/L67LiQ8QVEc/v-deo.html You can lower the strings and make the Cura the same. It’s only for the duration of the course afterwards you can make the strings as they should be again You have everything you need to learn on how to play on the Cura - in the short neck course - I really recommend it You can always reach me and write me a message if you need more explanations on the website: baraksaz.com

Hi
Congratulations it’s a beautiful instrument ✨
The teaching for Cura is exactly like the teaching for the long/short neck Saz online courses.
It is also quite difficult to learn from books and the English teaching for this instrument are very few. I would recommend you to take the short neck online course (with the Cura) .

you can lower the strings just for the time you’re taking the course (it would sound a bit loose, but it’s OK. You can take the course with it and after you finish and learn everything you can bring it back to the normal position,) so you can practice together on the same note as the course ,after you finish the course you can tighten the strings again.
I recommend the short neck because the Cura will be more close to it - to compare the notes for them to be the same -it’s possible to lower the notes of the Cura to reach the short neck notes - to be able to take the course with it)
The Cura is usually tuned:
A (la)
(bottom string close to the floor)
D (re) middle string
E (mi) upper string close to the ceiling
(sometimes its one note down/lower)
To take the short neck course, you should lower the strings, so your Cura will be tuned:
E (mi)
(bottom string close to the floor)
A (la) middle string
B (si ) upper string close to the ceiling
This is the tuning lesson on UA-cam for short neck.

You can lower the strings and make the Cura the same.
It’s only for the duration of the course afterwards you can make the strings as they should be again
You have everything you need to learn on how to play on the Cura - in the short neck course - I really recommend it
