To add to this entry: why this instrument's name derives from a Turkish term meaning "out of order" or "rotten." 173.89.236.187 02:50, 2 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Bozuk (more precisely, bozuk düzen) is also a method of tuning stringed instruments, especially the bağlama, wherein the bottom strings are tuned A, the middle ones are tuned D, and the top ones G. It is so named because it differs from the conventional method of tuning.
