With Osman Gazi in 1299 began the mehteran to play for ages in wars, shows and celebrations saying: "Blood is his hand, blood is his sword, bare is his breast, full of trance his heart. Passing with joy on the road to Allah"

They witnessed World War I and the War of Independence.
Beethoven and many western musicians composed music inspired by them. And the Mehteran, also called Askeri Müzüka Teşkilatı (Military Music Organization) played for ages and continues to do so with enthusiasm.
