'Istanbul Cumbush' by Earthone presents a collection of traditional cumbush melodies that have been professionally played by exceptional musicians to reflect its unique and characteristic sounds.

The cumbush is a Turkish stringed instrument of relatively modern origin. It was developed in 1930 by Zeynel Abidin Cumbush (1881-1947) as a fretless oud-like instrument that could be heard as part of a larger ensemble. It is shaped like an American banjo, with a spun-aluminium resonator bowl and skin soundboard. Although originally configured as an oud, the instrument has been converted to other instruments by attaching a different set of neck and strings.

'Turkish Sazbush' by Earthtone contains professionally played and recorded melodies from this Turkish instrument.

Sazbush as a instrument, was a big success in the traditional Turkish parties of the 40s. For the Gypsy musicians who played in huge weddings, it was perfect as the oud and the Saz always disappears in big spaces, especially when played with loud instruments such as trumpets drums and such. For them, the Cumbus Saz was just the perfect solution.
