Buzuq
The ''buzuq'' (, ; also transliterated ''bozuq'', ''bouzouk'', buzuk etc.) is a long-necked fretted lute, similar to the ''bozuk düzen bağlama'' likely originated in the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly in the Levant, where it is prominent in Lebanese, Syrian, Iraq, Iranian, Turkish music and Palestinian music. Its roots may trace back to ancient stringed instruments, evolving into its modern form by the 19th century. The buzuq's metallic strings and thin neck allow for intricate melodies, making it a favored solo instrument in traditional settings. It gained popularity in urban music scenes, especially in Cairo's early 20th-century music halls, where it was adapted for larger ensembles. Today, it remains a key instrument in folk music, often played with a plectrum to produce its distinctive, resonant sound.

Baglamadaki
The baglamas ( ), plural '' baglamades'') or baglamadaki (), a long necked bowl-lute, is a plucked string instrument used in Greek music; it is a smaller version of the bouzouki pitched an octave higher (nominally D-A-D), with unison pairs on the four highest strings and an octave pair on the lower D. Musically, the baglamas is most often found supporting the bouzouki in the Piraeus city style of rebetiko. The body is often hollowed out from a piece of wood (''skaftos'', construction) or else made from a gourd, but there are also baglamades with staved backs. Its small size (typically 21.5in, 55cm in total length, but only 4.5in, 12cm wide) made it particularly popular with musicians who needed an instrument transportable enough to carry around easily or small enough to shelter under a coat. During parts of the 20th century, players of the bouzouki and baglamas were persecuted by the government, and the instruments were smashed by the police. See also * Bouzouki * Pandura ...
