Volko Baglama

In the eventuality that you are running out of ideas of how you can make your music sound fresher and have greater appeal to the broad public, then injecting samples with folk influences from various parts of the world is one alternative to consider.

As the name suggests, Volko Baglama is a plugin that comes with a unique sound, namely the baglama also known as the Turkish guitar. With a history of over millennia, the baglama or saz as it is called in the region of Anatolia is used to express the most profound human emotions. Commonly played at weddings, but also other joyous celebrations, the saz is one of the most precious and dearest of Turkish sounds.

If you are looking to experiment with this instrument in your compositions, your main choice would be to travel to Anatolia and get a local musician to help you record various samples that you can process later on. Then again, thanks to the plugin, you can avert all the hassle of traveling and finding just the right sound that is suitable for your style. It is worth noting that Volko Baglama is one of the few VST plugin of this kind and perhaps, one of the best alternatives of international artists to experiment with traditional Turkish folk music.
