How to Clean and Protect Your Saz-Baglama

Playing saz baglama is a process that requires a lot of work, effort, and time. In this process, we need to become one with our instruments and make them a part of our lives. For this reason, we should always take a close interest in our instruments and take care of them in order to get the necessary performance from them and to use them in a healthy way for many years.

How to Clean Saz & Baglama Correctly

Like any musical instrument, care must be taken to care for the saz baglama. It should be carefully and regularly maintained so that the timbre of the saz baglama does not deteriorate, the strings do not wear out over time, and the characteristic of the tree on which the saz baglama is made is not lost. The environment where the Saz baglama musical instrument is located must be absolutely dry. It should never be stored in open air places. In addition, you should be careful not to put it in damp and humid environments.

Saz baglama should be stored in its special sheath at room temperature.

After playing the saz baglama instrument, the strings should be wiped with a normal cloth. Care should be taken not to make it too hard when wiping the wires. Because if it is pressed too much, the strings may lose their ability to play and the sound harmony may deteriorate. That's why it's important to clean the baglama delicately while doing this.

Changing the wires of the saz baglama should be done regularly. But, of course, this depends on how often the player plays. A regular player should replace their strings every two months. During wire replacement, you can clean the front of the coupling body with a wet cloth. You should be careful that the wipe you use while wiping is alcohol-free. Be careful not to use chemical products.

 

The Importance of Saz Maintenance

If you do not clean the saz baglama instrument, the quality of the strings may be affected over time. Unfortunately, as the oxidation on the strings increases, your musical instrument will not sound at the desired quality. On the other hand, if you care about its aesthetic appearance, it is recommended to clean the baglama after playing with a wet, clean cloth.

How to Protect and Store Your Saz-baglama

In order to get the same efficiency from your saz baglama as on the first day, it is very important to protect bag lama well. When purchasing your saz baglama musical instrument, it is very important that you buy a protective case and keep it safely. However, it should not be kept in the sheath when not in use. Whether the sheath is of good or poor quality, the humidity and temperature in the room will damage the wood of the binding.

Saz baglama can be stored by hanging it on the wall. However, it should not come into direct contact with the wall on which it is hung in order not to encounter situations such as scratching or moisture absorption from the wall. If you do not have the chance to fulfill this situation, you can put a very thin material between the wall and the reed. In this way, you can prevent your reed from touching the wall. The auger of the tie that will not be used for a long time should be loosened, and the wires should not be left tense. Stab-throwing may occur in saz baglamas that are left stretched.
