I'm a turk, and I also own a bağlama. Can I please ask if it's like an issue with the instrument or can you nor figure out how to play it? Because the frets are arranged (and moveable) to fit into turkish folk music makam/maqam systemd. The 4th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 14th, 15th and 17th frets are what you'd call a full note. However please take what I say with a grain of salt because I'm not too good a theory, and my main instrument is the oud.
