Sez: Turkish Guitars

Dear Boys and Girls,

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.

Looking forward to hearing more instruments as I travel,

Mr. Pimentel
