The Musical Instruments of Azerbaijan

The culmination of a lifetime of research has gone into Majnun Karimov's new book, "Azerbaijan Music Instruments". It's the first book ever to document what Azerbaijani traditional instruments look like and how they are made. For the past 34 years, Karimov has pursued his personal quest to restore ancient, forgotten instruments that were documented in miniature paintings. This beautiful volume includes a personal description describing the path that Majnun took to reconstruct some of these instruments, plus a description and photos of 28 traditional instruments. They include Percussion: Laggutu, Goltug Naghara, Jura Naghara, Boyuk Naghara, Gosha Naghara, Gaval, Daf and Dumbak. Wind instruments include: Ney, Balaban, Zurna, Tulum, Tutak and Garmon. String instruments include: Gopuz, Choghur, Chagane, Rubab, Barbat, Shirvan Tanbur, Chang, Rud, Santur, Saz, Tar, Kamancha, Ganun and Ud.
