Re: Any help identifying this beautiful instrument?
I would guess it is some kind of Saz. (Turkey)
There are so many versions of this kind of instrument spread across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
It is a very cool thing. I like the decorations.
The Atlas of Plucked Instruments is a good source for identifying this kind of thing.
