The saz has a long, thin neck and a teardrop-shaped body. The neck is traditionally
made of fir and the body carved from a single piece of mulberry wood. Small
soundholes are carved into the top and also sometimes the sides of the body. The
strings are metal, usually steel or brass, and the player uses a long pick to pluck them.
There are several sizes of saz, ranging from the smallest, the cura (with three sets of
strings) to the medium-sized baglama (with six sets of strings) to the larger divan or
meydan (with nine strings).
