BALTA SAZI ( DEDE, KOPUZ, RUZBA ) IS A TYPE OF BINDING IN THE BINDING FAMILY. HE GOT THIS NAME BECAUSE HIS WOODEN TROUGH RESEMBLES THE MOUTH OF AN AX, TAPERING AT THE BOTTOM. IT IS DISTINGUISHED FROM OTHER BINDINGS BY THE FACT THAT ITS TIMBRE, AS WELL AS ITS APPEARANCE, IS QUITE DIFFERENT.

IT HAS A 7-6-5-3 WIRE, AND IS EXECUTED IN A LACING PATTERN. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT IS PLAYED WITHOUT THE USE OF TEZENE, AND IT HAS A VERY SATISFYING SOUND FOR ACCOMPANIMENT. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A TIMBRE IN THE WHIRL (IN ALEVI'S FOLK SONG) THAT AFFECTS A PERSON.
