Buzun

Buzun is a traditional Turkish musical instrument, primarily used in folk music. It is a type of double-reed instrument, similar to the oboe, but with a distinct sound and construction. The buzun is typically made from wood, with a conical bore and a double reed. The instrument is held vertically, with the player blowing into the reed and using their fingers to control the pitch. The buzun is often used in ensembles, playing both melodic and rhythmic parts. It is particularly associated with the Aegean region of Turkey, where it is used in various musical genres, including folk dances and wedding ceremonies. The buzun's unique sound and versatility make it an important instrument in Turkish music.
