ok cool. Maybe I used wrong translations. Because I thought the word "Farsça" meant "Persian". I found this info in a Turkish site.

The word Mehter is derived from the Persian dialect. Back in those days Persia was under the Ottomans. I am a member of the Australian Mehter Band.
today in Turkish we translate "Mehter" as "büyük", "pek ulu"
in english it can be translated as "grand", "serebe", "sublime".
so Mehter Takımı:
"Grand Band"
"Grand Band of Great Ottoman Army"
