There are three string groups on Baglama in groups of two or three. These string groups can be tuned in a variety of ways.

Tar The smallest zurna is called cura or bell zurna, the medium-sized zurna is called the medium-coarse zurna, and the largest is called the coarse zurna.

It has therefore been played almost invariably along with big drums that both provide the rhythm and the lower frequencies that travel further away than the zurna's loud, high pitched sound.Zurna — Zurna, ein bei der türkischen Kriegsmusik gebräuchliches Blasinstrument, der Oboe ähnlich … Pierer's Universal-Lexikon The instrument which changes between 60 and 30 cm. in length as we have already mentioned is divided into three types according to its sound : Kaba Zurna, Orta Kaba Zurna and Cura Zurna (Zil Zurna). They are generally made from wood of trees such as plums, apricots, walnut, saber etc. Kaval The zurna, a relative of the oboe, is found almost everywhere where the common reed grows because it uses a short cylindrical reed that is tied to a conical brass tube on one end, flattened to a narrow slit on the other end as a source of the sound. Cifte is a Turkish folk instrument of the wind type. It is made by tying two reed pipes side by side. Two small reed pieces which produce the sound are added to the ends of both reeds. These two small reeds are taken into the mouth cavity and it is played by blowing the air at the same time.

There are two types of zurna playing, sitting and standing. There are seven holes in total on the zurna. The 6 of them are in the upper part, the remaining hole is in the lower section. The left hand of the person who will play the zurna should cover the holes in the top and the right hand the holes in the bottom. However, in both types of playing, it is important to know how to make the best use of the air in the lungs. The most important feature that should be known in all types of zurna is the correct closing of the holes during playing. The person who wants to play the zurna adjusts the sound output and timbre by opening and closing the holes on the instrument by blowing through the "sipsi" in the mouth. While playing the zurna, one should never stop breathing. The sound of the zurna comes out with tremors.Turkish lore [ citation needed] says that Adam, who was moulded from clay, had no soul.

A folk etymology explains that the name is derived from Persian " سرنای" ( surnāy), composed of " سور" ( sūr) meaning "banquet, feast", and نای ( nāy) meaning "reed, pipe". The term is attested in the oldest Turkic records, as " suruna" in the 12th and 13th century Codex Cumanicus (CCM fol. 45a). Zurna has also been suggested as a possible borrowing from Hittite or Luwian into the Armenian language, where Arm. զուռնա zuṙna is compared to Luwian zurni "horn".
