Instruments

Clarinet

The single-reed woodwind with the widest range of its family – equally at home in the concert hall and in Anatolian and Balkan folk music.

Alto Saxophone

Adolphe Sax’s brass-bodied woodwind – the expressive middle voice of jazz, and a modern counterpart to Anatolian winds.

Çağlama

A modern hybrid of baglama and guitar: baglama fretting for Anatolian microtones on a reinforced neck with electric guitar strings.

Kaval

An end-blown shepherd’s flute of Anatolia and the Balkans – open at both ends, airy and bright across more than two octaves.

Duduk

An ancient double-reed woodwind carved from apricot wood, whose warm, breathy voice is often called the closest instrumental sound to human song.
