We are proud to announce “Anatolian Kopuz” a collection of traditional kopuz melodies professionally played, recorded and packed to ensure you’ re never missing any detail in your project.

The history of Kopuz, the national Turkic instrument, extends back to antiquity, over 1500 years old and used by Turkish communities in Central, Western and Northern Asia. Many instruments in Anatolian Turkish music culture, especially the bağlama, are derived from the kopuz. There is a belief in Turkish communities that kopuz was invented by Dede Korkut and was a sacred instrument. It's a three-stringed instrument, without a curtain on its handle, playing with a hard plectrum similar to that of a tambur. Which looks like a kind of belt, is three to three and a half feet long, two bent beams of horsehair are stretched over it.

In detail expect to find 514MB of raw content featuring 90 beautifully played “Kopuz” loops at 90/110/130bpm and includes a dry version (w/o any additional e.q, compressor or reverb effects) and wet version of each, giving a total of 180 files. All loops are Key and tempo labeled for ease of use. All sounds are ready to fit straight in your tracks.

This instrument can be used accompanying other instruments and is perfectly usable in a variety of musical genres whether you’re producing world music, ethnic & organic folk music, experimental, cinematic, ambient, meditation, live lounge, electronica or even hip hop also suitable for film score, documentaries and media compositions as well - the only limit is your imagination!
