saz problems http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/1016 -- best -- http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/melo3.mp3 -- saz with six strings -- http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/melo2.mp3 -- violin with azure carter, tamburi -- the saz nut (where the strings leave the pegs and enter the fingerboard) is so worn down that it's impossible to hold the strings in place; as a result, two were taken out, and six remain. the effect is that of a leaner, more despairing sound i think. still the untempered scale works wonders and the result is like the starts and stops of everything else in my life. along with this, there's a violin piece, mainly on the high string. - enjoy.
