According to The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, "the terms 'bağlama' and 'saz' are used somewhat interchangeably in Turkey, applied to a long-necked lute of folk traditions; the tanbūr (distinguished as the 'great' tanbūr) is a larger instrument of art music."[1] The saz is descended from the kopuz; this is a generic name for several forms of stringed instrument.
