I really miss playing my guitar. Unfortunately I couldn't bring it with me around the world, so to help me feel better I went walking along Galip Dede Caddesi which is a street lined with shops that sell traditional Turkish instruments. I went into one of the shops and asked about these interesting looking guitars.
The nice man at the store told me that they are called "cura" and they belong to the sez family. Sez are traditional Turkish guitars. They have more strings than my guitar back home, are hard to play, but boy oh boy they really do sound beautiful.

I love guitars but I 've never seen one like that. abbey girl
ReplyDeleteHello Abbey Girl,
ReplyDeleteI wonder how hard it would be to play a sez? Is it the same as playing a guitar? I might have to try it next time I am in a music shop in Istanbul!
