Ordering from the store

Choose the size and tuning, then order the qanun from the store to our warehouse with your box number. If your card is refused, send the link and we buy for you at an 8% commission on the instrument price.

Checking at our warehouse

We open the case carefully and confirm the strings and the skin surface are intact, try the levers one by one, and photograph the instrument from above.

Weight and price

The instrument is wide and is mostly billed by volume; a large carton costs more than the medium one, and the price is confirmed before shipping, customs excluded.

Use and care

Store it away from damp and direct sun, slacken the strings slightly for long trips, and wipe the surface with a dry cloth.

Strings, levers and case

Qanuns made in Turkey come in different sizes and tunings. Ask about the number of strings, whether the levers (small keys for adjusting pitch) are included and work smoothly, the wood and skin type, and whether a hard case is included, since the instrument is sensitive to humidity and knocks.

Transit, delivery and price by country

Syria: the instrument stays in its hard case with extra padding and reaches Syria overland in about two weeks. Jordan: Jordan is by road, with the parcel handed over in Amman, Irbid, Zarqa and Aqaba. The Gulf: by air from Istanbul in 3 to 5 days, and the instrument is wide so it is priced by volume. Music institutes receive a separate offer for quantities.
