[@Andrei_Antonov]

[@mattnobrega6621]

Kickin it old-school 😏👍
No technology. Just straight tradition

[@seraby7151]

So happy this instrument is incorporated beautifully in some genshin soundtracks (The Chasm Surface)

[@abyssordersupremacy6828]

You from genshin too...I came here too cause of that song in the surface chssm

[@fireboss9210]

It’s almost 8 years since the first time I listened to this instrument but I guess you guys came after that game, it’s an honor for more people to discover ancient instruments

[@Cyberbully3]

[@elizabethl1038]

[@deezonyxde77]

[@jimimattila9550]

Morin Khuur and the Finnish Jouhikko instrument sound a bit same

[@hodurgustavsson762]

Ok ding😎👍

[@michaelturner4457]

horse head fiddle

[@juanar4305]

Nice theme, it's almost hypnotic.
The "F-grooves" of the violin are typical of European, not of Mongolian culture. Maybe they were added to make it sound better.

[@juanar4305]

When you come from symphonic rock, you accept any music! 🤣🤣

[@samwessels8216]

ah yes... the two string djent machine

[@BatukRP]

North China is inner Mongolia

[@ahmetkarakartal9563]

orkundk

[@Donaltrumkreal]

It looks like an ugly cello

[@SpeedRunningWarcrimes]

This is the potential to translate the beauty of the steppes and their culture that these people feel. One strum of this instrument and the Chinese are no longer bribing and manipulating your Khanates to war with each other, but bowing before you for tribute.

[@nos8141]

Childish. Those bow instruments originate from plains
That can easy be replaced by this or Gehu

[@nos8141]

@@SpeedRunningWarcrimes he is not chines.

[@andreas9181]

Lmao it looks 10 times better than a cello with it’s horse head it’s a lot more elegant that a cello and sounds better IMO

[@EQI264]

Looks and sounds way better than a cello and has way more story behind it when a Cello.
