I didn't know that the Kanun could sound like a harp, in the low notes...The first seconds of this melody are not immediately identifyable as a turkish or/and oriental motif, that's why we mistake this part as a harp interpretation...But that's definitely the Kanun...
This instrument is absolutely magical , to my ears...
It's also my favourite instrument, along with the Ney flute, and the Darbuka of course......

c.irvin614
its either a harp or even a sitar.
but in turkey the instruments that are very simliar they could be:
saz
baglama
tambura

the instrument is most likely a saz i woudl say from the higher pitched sounds thne towards the middle of the song the player swtiches to a baglama which has a slightly deeper sound.


Gilly
sounds like a Harp


jasonv13th
