Achtergronden van deze unieke militaire band.

The "Mehter" Janissary Band which for centuries (started in 1299) had exeburated the Ottoman soldiers and instilled fear into the enemies

It is believed that individual instrumentalists may have been mentioned in the 8th century Orkhon inscriptions, the oldest written sources of the people who would eventually become the modern Turks[citation needed]. Such military bands as the mehters, however, were not definitively mentioned until the 13th century[citation needed]. It is believed that the first "mehter" was sent to Osman Gazi by the Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin III as a present along with a letter that salutes the newly formed state. From then on every day after the afternoon prayer; "mehter" played for the Ottoman ruler. The notion of a military marching band, such as those in use even today, began to be borrowed from the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. The sound associated with the mehterân also exercised an influence on European classical music, with composers such as Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven all writing compositions inspired by or designed to imitate the music of the mehters.

The official band of the Ottoman army was known as the Mehter. This band, consisting of hundreds of musicians, marched in front of the armies during campaigns. In battles and sieges, it played stirring marches. Today, in the Military Museum of Istanbul, the music of this oldest band of the world is still played in the traditional manner on some days and during ceremonies and concerts.

The tablhane (mehterhane) which is one of the symbols of the emperorship in all Islamic states has been passed to the Ottoman State by the Seljuk State. In 1299 The Selcuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat III had sent the sancak as a symbol for the beylik together with drums, etc.
