saz
Plucked string instrument called a saz. The pear-shaped body is carved from a block of hollowed out wood with two small round sound-holes on the bottom. The sound-board is made of several strips of thin wood in varying colours. The thin, long neck is glued with a V-joint to the body. The tuning-head is also attached with a V-joint to the neck and has nine T-shaped tuning pegs. The neck has tied-on frets of red nylon thread. Eight of the nine original steel strings are present. An orange silk tassel is tied to the end of the neck.
