Bağlama

Bağlama is a very special musical instrument from Turkey. It looks like a long neck guitar with three or four strings. To make sound, you first have to press down on the strings with one hand on the neck and use the other hand to pluck or strum the strings.

When you play the bağlama, it makes a sound that can be happy, sad, or exciting. People often sing or dance along when someone is playing the bağlama, and it is part of many traditional Turkish songs and dances.

Just like learning to ride a bike or play a game, playing the bağlama takes practice and patience. But with hard work, anyone can learn to play this beautiful instrument and make their own music.
