This is a Turkish instrument. The Greek instrument does not have quarter tones and whilst Greeks might have invented music theory (did they, though?) they did not invent maqam with quarter tones. I belong to neither country but I prefer Turkish melody (and West African rhythm) by a country mile. Regarding the VST, this needs to be redone and recorded again because when you get into the lower tones, the attack is too strong. Please recreate this VST but paying attention to the recordings of the attack/envelope of the sound. Yes you can change the attack in the VST but if the underlying sound was poorly recorded, it will take a lot of EQ of each individual note (which nobody should have to do). I've been using it for nearly a decade but surely someone could have created something better by now?

I play baglama saz, chogur saz and divan saz. This sounds nothing like them.

The sound is VERY poor! I play many actual Eastern instruments & this... simply isn't any good at all! I have a piano VST that came with my DAW, that can actually do a far better Baglama sound than this
GREAT!!! Finally I can make psychedelic trance with baglama :D

Not the best vsti but if you are so desperate, it can be used.
It doesn't sound like the real thing. It's not light enough but it's not bad. Can you improve it?
Maybe it doesn't sound 100% like the real thing, but at least to my ears it sounds good, and it has quarter tones! That's great!

Of course baglama (saz) is Turkish instrument PERIOD!!! By the way trust me baglama sound not like that. I don't like this vst because sound like rubber band guitar with vibrato fx :(

Bağlama is Turkish instrument. Cahit Berkay, Aşık Veysel are good players.

Simple as a single instrument has to be. Sounds great. Quatertone addition is a very nice feature. Well done & Thanks for that one.
Can you give me some idea about this instrument??? Where it originates????
Mr. Nirmal, this is Turkish music instrument !
No this is Armenian instrument.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ba%C4%9Flama . It says alot about Turkey, but nothing about Armenia... funny... Its balkan instrument, mainly in bosnia, turkey, but uses in near regions too. Not armenian.
Hi guys, you're all right and wrong at the same time. The instrument has no national belonging. It's like saying that tomatoes are spanish just because there is some good tomatoes in spain. The word baglama is turkish and means "tie". It referes to the frets beeing tied to the neck of the instrument. You can find this instrument or related instruments (such as Bouzouki, Dutar, Tar, Tanbura...) originating from central asia.
This is an Anatolian instrument, and it's used by Turks and Armenians and other people around the area. It belongs to lovers and poets not nationals. Forget about what Armenian church and Turkish nationals say. We all belong to Anatolia as one being soil other as rock. And we utter the words of peace and wisdom with baglama.
The guitar that is the BASE of all instruments like baglama is Greek as all music theory and invention since and before Pythagoras that laid the foundation of music.
