Musical Instruments of India and Turkey: Some Connections
Öz
Each society has a unique musical system related to the character of its culture. Description of a musical event may be considered broadly representative of its cultural area. Therefore, musical instruments and their connections with different cultures could be one of the significant musical events to talk about. This paper presents brief historic explanations about India and Turkey as well as some background information about the musical instruments of these countries and some connections among them. It can be said that over the centuries there has been a continuous give and take between Persian, Arabs, Indians, and Turks. Thus, musical instruments have been adopted and accepted in all of these countries. This study shows that musical instruments from different areas of the Middle East and south Asia clearly belong to the same artistic family. However, it is important to note that the instruments with the same or similar names can refer to very different instruments, and the same instruments can go by many and varied names. Even the type of music may change an instrument’s name. Therefore, we should never trust a name of an instrument unless its precise origins are known, and who plays it.
