Abstrakt: Folklore as an oral tradition of literature plays a significant role in conveying the cultural legacy of a society from one generation to another. The current study investigates the cultural heritage of kopuz (lute) as a folkloric musical instrument in the Turkic folktale of the Book of Dede Korkut. In this folktale, kopuz (lute) is one of the sacred and oldest musical instruments of the Oghuz tribe. However, Dede Korkut as the main character of the stories is the inventor of Ashik (minstrel) musical poetry in Turkicspeaking communities. Thus, this research demonstrates the cultural legacy of kopuz (lute) in the Book of Dede Korkut's stories, showing that the folkloric musical instrument plays a vital role in creating Ashik musical poetry in the Azerbaijani Turkic-speaking communities; in fact, this cultural heritage was flourished from the past and has been transmitted to the contemporary times of Turkic-speaking societies.
