The eminence of Turkey lies in its cultural legacy which is believed to be a concoction of Ottoman Empire including the Roman and the Islamic culture, and the Western Culture. The more the Ottoman Empire proceeded to westernize itself the more number of cultural products were introduced, the instruments being one of them. And today the vast range of instruments used in Turkey stand as the representatives of Turkish cultural heritage.
The Turkish instruments can be segregated into three chief categories, namely string instruments, wind instruments and percussion.
