The main goal of this book is to capture a picture of the actual situation of music production in the world of sound engineering applied to traditional Turkish instruments, regarding solo kanun (qanun) recordings. The book focuses on mono and stereo microphone techniques that can be used for recording the kanun in a Turkish Makam music context. In order to get a broader picture of the current situation of musical production preferences, a field research with various recordings is prepared and applied to musicians, sound engineers/producers and non-musicians.
