Organology emerged as a science as in the XVII century. However, studies’ course in Turkey has been more different than organology studies in Europe. When researches conducted in the early years of Republic of Turkey are examined, it is seen that written works about instruments are few, works entered into literature of this period were written after compilation works of institutions such as conservatory and radio. Even if they have no intention of introducing instruments, they are first studies giving information about instruments. Furthermore, after establishment of conservatory providing Turkish Music education, academic studies about Turkish Music and instruments began Therefore, the first part of organology studies in Turkey can be classified as compilations by government authorities and as the second part, organology studies began after establishment of Turkish Music State Conservatory in İstanbul

When we examine the historical literature of Turkish music, it is seen that various works which can constitute a source of organology have been received. A great deal of these works allow us to have information about the history, morphological characteristics and materials used in the construction of today and past instruments. As a matter of fact, the edvars which are the first source of the history of Turkish music constitute an example for the works mentioned above. In particular, it is possible to find information about the instruments played during the period when the work was written in the Eid al-Qa'ibs or in the near centuries of this turn, and it is also possible to find out the instruments which are popular in the century when the work is written, while describing the curtains used in Turkish music. It is also possible to obtain information on the classification of instruments from these works. However, although this information is the first organological information in terms of Turkish music history, it does not reflect today's scientific understanding. Indeed, academic studies on music in Turkey, XIX. the end of the century XX. It was seen that Rauf Yekta Bey and H. Sadeddin Arel were instrumental in these studies, which started before the publication of the Republic. However, XIX. The beginning of the study of the ilm-i ahvâl-i akvâm (ethnography), which was founded in the beginning of the 16th century, will cause visible increases in the work done on the instruments after the announcement of the republic.
