Design/Methodology/Approach: Literature screening was performed and similar studies specific to education and music education were investigated. The pool of 50 Likert-type items was prepared and expert opinions sought. In line with expert opinions, the draft scale of 37 items was administered to 418 preservice music teachers receiving baglama education in the study group. Findings: After suitable values were obtained with KMO (.960) and Bartlett’s test (p <0.05), exploratory factor analysis was performed followed by confirmatory factor analysis. After exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the ‘attitude to playing baglama scale’ gained its final form comprising a total of 20 items in three sub dimensions of value (7), adjustment (8) and interest (5). The reliability value for this scale was α=0.961, and it was identified to explain 70.572% of the total variance.
