{"title":"Classical Kemence","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClassical kemence (in another name “armudî -pear-shaped- kemencha”) is a three-stringed, pear-shaped fiddle. Classical kemence has an interesting story: until the early 1900's it was actually a Greek folk music instrument from the Aegean Region and was associated to a lower social class and nightclubs. It transformed into a “classical” instrument after Tanburî Cemil Bey (a prominent Turkish composer and tanbur player in the Ottoman era) played and recorded kit solos. Now it is a highly regarded Turkish Classical Music instrument. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis instrument is very appropriate for the emotional and sad style of Turkish music with its melancholic and soul caressing sound.
