[Saz/Baglama] Strings?

lordsme - 1-9-2008 at 02:47 PM

Hi everyone,
I did not know where to ask on the net about how to find the best baglama strings, so I thought I could post here. Hope it's not against forum rules.

By the way, my baglama "vibrating length" is 78,7 cm and it is tuned DGC , from the smallest course to the biggest. I'm not sure of the string measure but the turkish seller told me these measurements (all courses are in unison, no octaves):

D - 0,20mm

G - 0,30mm

C - 0,65mm

Do you think these sizes are correct?
And if they are, what are the best strings, in your opinion?
And where can I buy them? I'm from Italy, so I think I'll have to buy them on the net.

Thank you guys!

Davide

Hello lordsme,

you can go to my shop again visit the download center and there you will find a file about the saz strings. This gives you more informations about the offered set and the single strings.

The materia of strings is so complicated and you can imagine this, if I tell you, that my shop contains oover 8.000 different strings.
Yes it's true, the saz strings are sold on reels in a length of 100, 200, and 500 meters. there are a lot of players, who uses theese.

If you have more questions, please mail them

Regards Matthias
