Cumbus Instrument

The Cumbus is a fascinating Turkish stringed instrument that is at times compared to the Oud. The Cumbus is shaped like an American banjo and is certainly a lot of fun to play! If you are searching for your first ever Cumbus, or for an upgrade, you’ve come to the right place. Here you will find an exclusive selection and designs of Cumbus for highly competitive prices.

The Cumbus is fretless with an adjustable neck, allowing the player to change the angle of the neck to its strings easily. As the neck is detachable, it is one of the easiest Arabic instruments to transport around, making it perfect for a touring musician! Depending on the materials used to make the Cumbus, it can produce a variety of sounds. This fascinating instrument really became famous in the 40s and 50s in Istanbul and is still widely popular among Arabic musicians today. The original Cumbus from Istanbul is a wonderful instrument to begin playing on and to learn more about Middle Eastern music.
