This enchanting string instrument is known for its evocative sound and intricate craftsmanship, contributing a distinctive timbre to the musical landscape. The kanun is a type of zither with a trapezoidal shape, featuring 78 to 81 strings stretched across its wooden body. These strings are divided into groups, with three strings per note, allowing for a wide range of melodic and harmonic possibilities. The musician plays the kanun by plucking the strings with small plectrums, known as "mızrap," held between the index fingers and thumbs.
