We already have one ... in Greece. The instrument I got from Turkey is a saz (or Turkish Bağlama). I already told you, remember? So you should just buy a ticket to Greece and you'll have the chance to have one saz at your place for free :-) But if you just read how it is constructed, you'll understand that it can't have the same sound as the Greek bouzouki.</p> You don’t have to!

I must admit I assumed that it sounded like a bouzouki, since it looks so similar. Silly me... Palm Guitars have a few, perhaps I should go by and try one out to see what it <em>really</em> sounds like.</p> Oh! I must admit I assumed that it sounded like a bouzouki, since it looks so similar.

Not true. The Turkish Bağlama is not similar to a Greek buzuki (or to a Greek baglama) at all! Only dimensionwise maybe, but still their actual shape and construction is much different and their sound as well. Maybe you already know that, but it is not clear by the way you put it (in any case, I think you must admit that the mother may sometimes know better the differences between her children ;-)). Baglamas on the other hand is a buzuki, only a shrunken one.</p> <p>And: I hope you are going to be a responsible father. Congratulations!</p> Just a very short comment: You write at some point that the Turkish Bağlama is much more similar to a Greek bouzouki than to a Greek baglama. Not true.
