Baglama is considered one of the traditional and popular stringed instruments in traditional Turkish and Kurdish music.

The players of this instrument plays it with a plectrum that you have to use two main fingers and one auxiliary finger to play it. Baglama is often used together with other instruments of Turkish folk music, such as the circle and the fiddle (kamancheh), and is considered one of the main and very important instruments in the traditional music structure of this country.
Music education in Edinburgh
Edinburgh has been at the forefront of Scottish classical, folk, pop, and punk scenes for many years. It is home to Scotland's oldest concert venue, St. Cecilia Hall which took classical music out of private venues and opened it to the public in the late 18th century. The Ceilidh Folk Festival, held in 1951 at the Oddfellows Hall (now McSurrells), is recognized as an event that has begun to revive English traditional music. Edinburgh's most important musicians include Davey John Stone, Shirley Manson, Paddy Milner, Vistas, Steve Manson, Unicorn Kid, and more. The Edinburgh International Music Festival is also held annually in this city, which is one of the most important music festivals in the United Kingdom.
