This week we are featuring two more instruments from our folk music exhibition. The saz is a plucked stringed instrument that was often carved from a single piece of wood. The kamancha is also a stringed instrument played with a horsehair bow that can be compared to a violin. The great Sayat Nova would always have one by his side. These pieces are on display in our second-floor galleries as part of an exhibition mounted in honor of the late Fred Margosian, a dedicated member of our Board of Trustees. In this video Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian explains how these instruments helped to shape Armenian music.
