The Electric Baglama Saz with Rhythms RT1 is the solo-act's instrument: factory-installed pickup PLUS built-in rhythm patterns (Turkish folk, arabesque, fusion patterns) playable through the saz's built-in speaker or routed out to a PA. You can hold an entire performance audience without a backing band, a laptop, or a drummer.
Why built-in rhythms changes solo performance
Most solo saz performers either play unaccompanied (limited audience appeal at modern venues) or play along to backing tracks from a phone/laptop (constant cable management, sound check headaches, no eye contact with audience). The RT1 puts the rhythm tracks inside the instrument itself — switch through patterns with a button, adjust tempo on the fly, route the rhythms to the PA or just the saz's onboard speaker. You play; the rhythm follows. Setup time at a venue drops from 20 minutes to 2.
Best for
- Solo wedding / event performers who currently use backing tracks
- Street performers and busking saz players
- Café and small-venue gig musicians
- Travel musicians (one piece of gear = your full setup)
- Music teachers running practice-along sessions for students
Not best for
- Studio recording (you'd want isolated tracks, not pre-mixed rhythms)
- Players who already have a band (don't pay for what you won't use)
- Traditional aşık music purists (acoustic long-neck is more idiomatic)

FAQ
Can I adjust the tempo of the rhythms?
Yes. The onboard rhythm engine has tempo control. Switch patterns and adjust speed in real time during performance.
Is the onboard speaker loud enough for live gigs?
For small intimate venues (cafés, small rooms up to ~50 people), yes. For larger venues, route the 1/4-inch output to a PA system.
Is the saz hard to learn?
Moderately. The fretting system has microtonal koma intervals, and right-hand picking (mızrab/tezene) takes practice. Plan 6-12 months of daily practice to play folk songs comfortably.
Can I plug an acoustic saz into an amp?
Yes if your model has an AMP jack or built-in pickup. For acoustic-only sazs, a soundhole pickup can be installed by any luthier — but for stage use, a factory electric model gives cleaner signal.
How often do I change strings?
Casual practice: 4-6 months. Daily practice or performance: 6-12 weeks. The lower bass strings last longer than the high pairs.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, worldwide. Sazs ship in custom foam-cushioned boxes. You choose carrier at checkout — DHL Express, FedEx, or standard postal. EU/US express orders typically 5-9 business days.
