The Buzuq is a traditional stringed musical instrument commonly found in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. It features a long neck and a rounded body, typically made from wood. The instrument has two or three strings, which are usually played with a plectrum, producing a bright and resonant sound. The Buzuq is often used in folk music and is known for its ability to convey a wide range of emotions. It is similar to other instruments like the oud and the saz, but its unique tuning and playing style give it a distinct character in regional music ensembles.
