‘Istanbul Qanun’ by Earthone contains a set of professionally played, incredibly rich, traditional and complex melodies that allow you to discover the world of Qanun!
‘Qanun’ is a member of the stringed instruments and has the form of a trapezoid shape, the shape serves the purpose of adjusting the length of the strings. The strings of qanun are plucked by a ring-shaped plectrum placed on the index fingers.
On the left side, there are pegs also known as ‘burgu’ which are used to tune the instrument. The Turkish qanun consists of 24, 25 or 26 sets of strings of two or three strings each (generally giving a total of 75) also features special metallic levers called ‘mandal’ on the left side. These features were not present until the 1870s. On contemporary Turkish qanun, there are six to fifteen mandals for every three strings that the performer can alter quickly when playing. On the right end of the instrument, the strings are stretched over the bridge called ‘esik’ made of lamb or fish skin.
The instrument is played on the lap while sitting by plucking the strings with two picks –one for each hand- made of tortoise shell. It is a unique instrument with a bright timbre, a wide range of sound colours and pitches. It is actually known as the loudest plucked string Turkish instrument; therefore, it can easily mask the sounds of other instruments in the ensemble. ‘Qanun’ is like the queen of Turkish art music and it is essentially used in art music and fasil ensembles in Turkey.
