Qopuz  or " Ashiq Sazi " which is also called " Chogur " is a string instrument played by Ashiqs and musicians of Azerbaijan in different provinces of Iran including East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Ardabil, Zanjan, Qazvin, and Hamedan. And it is generally played in the Turkic regions of Iran, and this instrument has a special place in the Republic of Azerbaijan. This instrument is one of the oldest instruments, which has three types with different sizes, from small to large, known as "Cürə Saz", "Tavar Saz" and "Ana Saz", which is the most common type of instrument. Today, ashiqs or ozans perform this beautiful art in different countries such as Iran, Azerbaijan, Turkey and other Turkic countries. When we talk about Ashiki art, we should also know one of the oldest legends of the Turkic people, "Dede Korkud", an old man whose epic stories in the form of a book called "Dede Korkud's Book" are from the past history to the anecdotes. Epic and heroic stories of the Turkic people convey their admonitions to future generations.

And now, as a small member of this community, I am proud to present the program "Qopuz Chalan" which means Qopuz player to the art of friends and lovers of this traditional instrument, the sounds are recorded from the real instrument and include all frets. along with it the possibility of trilling, is to play all the strings of one fret together, which means that you will have a complete instrument at your disposal, in addition to which there are rhythms and background sound that you can use at the same time and enjoy. Of course, this program cannot take the place of the instrument, but it can be a small step to familiarize the enthusiasts and art seekers with this instrument, and it is natural that we always and in all our work need the guidance of respected professors, as well as opinions, criticisms, suggestions and supports of our dear users.
