In the middle of the Balkan and Arabian influencies, the Turkish popular music has kept its remakable independence and originality. More sprightly than the Arabian music and more oriental than the Greek or Bulgarian music, the turkish music remains at once recognizable its roots are in the Central Anatolia, far away from towns and their occidental influencies.
The melodies beginning from the highest note and finishing to the lowest note mark an influency from Central Asia to which came on top Caucasian and Greek contributions.
There are many kinds of original instruments:the plucked strings,the"Baglama" with 6 strings, the "Bozuk" with 8 strings, the "Asik Sasi" with 9 strings and the "Meydan Sasi" with 12 strings. The Bowed instruments are mainly the "Kemance" with 3 strings and the "Kabak".
The wind instruments are the "Zurna" derived from the family of oboes, frequently replaced by the clarinet in the present music, and different types of flute like the "Kaval".
Last of all, the percussion instruments are the "Davul" and the "Darbuka".
