About cura
The cura is a Turkish plucked string folk instrument. It is the smallest and highest pitched member of the bağlama family of instruments. It is found in nearly every region of the country with varying exact dimensions, tunings, playing techniques, and names including dede sazı, parmak cura, üç telli cura, bağlama curası, and tanbura curası. The two other members of the bağlama family are the larger tambura and the largest divan sazı, which are one and two octaves lower than the cura, respectively.
