tenglamalar
Tenglamalar, also known as "tenglama" or "tenglamalar," are traditional Turkish musical instruments that are part of the broader family of string instruments. They are typically made from wood and feature a long, narrow neck and a large, resonant body. The strings are usually made of metal and are tuned to produce a range of notes. Tenglamalar are often used in Turkish folk music and are known for their distinctive, resonant sound. They are played by plucking the strings with the fingers or a plectrum, and can be used both as a solo instrument and as part of an ensemble. The instrument is often associated with the Aegean region of Turkey, where it is commonly used in traditional music and dance performances. Despite their traditional roots, tenglamalar have also been incorporated into modern Turkish music, reflecting their enduring popularity and cultural significance.
