The Ottoman Tanbur provides a detailed study of the history of this
long-necked lute-like instrument, its role in Ottoman music,
construction and playing technique. Tanburs are played in the art,
Su fi , and folk musical traditions along the Silk Road and beyond.
In Turkey, the name tanbur is mainly used as a name for the
long-necked tanbur of Ottoman art music, the Ottoman tanbur. The
origin and early development of the Ottoman tanbur is,
notwithstanding its importance, still not fully understood due to
the absence or scarcity of literary and iconographical sources,
while well-preserved Ottoman tanburs are rare or non-existent. The
book explores the political and cultural-historical conditions that
contributed to the development of a distinct Ottoman Art music
(Osmanli san'at musikisi) in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries and the central place given to the tanbur. Thereafter,
Ottoman art music and the Ottoman tanbur suffered from official
neglect until the end of the Ottoman Empire in 1918 and even
rejection after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in
1923. This situation changed after the foundation of the first
Turkish music conservatory in 1975 at the Istanbul Teknik
UEniversitesi (ITUE). The revival of Ottoman art music since the
1990s resulted in a rehabilitation of Ottoman art music and of the
Ottoman tanbur whose days had seemed to be numbered.
