Cümbüs - Turkish Banjo
A Turkish string instrument that blends the feel of a banjo with the soul of Middle Eastern music. Its metallic body and skin top create a bright, punchy tone that cuts through the mix and instantly adds a unique flavor to any production. The Cümbüs was originally designed in Istanbul in the early 20th century and has since become a go-to instrument for musicians looking to mix tradition with a modern edge. Its distinctive attack, shimmering overtones, and percussive vibe make it perfect for world music, pop, electronic, or cinematic styles.
