Diyar Bağlama – Kiraz (Cherry Wood) Model

Description

Crafted under the trusted Diyar brand, this Kiraz (Cherry Wood) model bağlama is distinguished by its deep, rich reddish-amber tone and balanced acoustic projection. Cherry wood is prized in traditional luthiery for producing a clear, warm mid-range with crisp treble attack, making this instrument versatile for both modern playing styles and traditional folk melodies.

The bowl features a deep cherry finish protected by a high-gloss coat that accentuates the subtle wood figuring. On the upper side of the body, it is fitted with an oval natural wood soundhole plug laser-engraved with the signature Diyar emblem, providing both functional acoustic management and authentic brand identity.

The slender natural light-wood neck is strung with tied microtonal frets for precise quarter-tone intonation across regional maqam modal systems. The peghead is fitted with dark, sculpted hardwood friction pegs that contrast cleanly against the light neck wood, allowing for smooth and stable tuning adjustments.
