The tanbur has a long, fretted neck, and a smaller, bowl-shaped body. It has seven strings; six of them are grouped in pairs, with a seventh lower-pitched string. It has a rich, raspy sound, and can be plucked or bowed. Tanburs are generally only played in traditional Ottoman classical music. SEE ALSO |
