The '''saz''' (from [[Turkish language|Azerbaijan]]: {{rtl-lang|fa|ساز}} {{lang|fa-Latn|''saz''}}) is a family of [[plucked string instrument]]s, popular in [[Iran]], [[Turkey]], [[Azerbaijan]], [[Armenia]] and the [[Balkan countries]]. According to ''[[Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians|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 [[Tanbur (Turkish)|tanbūr]] (distinguished as the 'great' tanbūr) is a larger instrument of [[art music]]."<ref name=grove>{{NewGrove2001|Tanbūr|Scheherezade Qassim Hassan<!--presumably an Arabic name, in which case "Last name, First name" may be incorrect -->, R. Conway Morris, John Baily, Jean During|xxv|pp. 61-62}}</ref> The saz is descended from the ''kopuz''; this is a generic name for several forms of stringed instrument. The Saz is used in [[Ottoman classical music]], [[Turkish folk music]], [[Kurdish music]], [[Music of Azerbaijan|Azeri music]], [[Sevdah|Bosnian sevdah music]], and [[Music of Iran|Persian music]].
