Küyttid

Küyttid is a traditional Turkish musical instrument, primarily used in folk music and dance. It is a type of drum, typically made from a hollowed-out wooden or metal cylinder, covered with a membrane such as animal skin or plastic. The küyttid is played by striking the membrane with the hands or sticks, producing a resonant, rhythmic sound. It is often used to accompany vocals and other instruments in performances, providing a steady beat and enhancing the overall musical experience. The instrument is an essential component of Turkish folk music, reflecting the cultural heritage and traditions of the region. Its design and playing technique vary across different Turkish communities, contributing to the diversity and richness of Turkish musical expression.
