Mongolian Morin Khuur Performance CD The performer is the famous Bayar. There are a total of 14 songs. The Morin Khuur is a representative instrument of the Mongolian people. A horse carving is placed at the top of the instrument, and it is a bowed string instrument that has been handcrafted and passed down by nomadic people for over a thousand years. It is played by using a bow made of horse tail hair to bow the two strings while holding the instrument between the knees. Although it has only two strings, it can produce a variety of tones depending on the playing technique, and it is said that it can represent all kinds of animals, such as horses, and various scenes of nature. It is truly an instrument befitting the name "cello of the steppes" and is registered as a World Heritage site. Highly recommended CD!
