About Khoomei and the traditional instruments
Khoomei: A type of throat singing with distinct fundamental and overtone melody above that, used in folk music from Tuva.
Doshpuluur: A three-stringed instrument with frets similar to a banjo but with the warm sound of wood and goat skin.
Igil: A two-stringed, bowed, and fretless instrument. This is deeply connected with the mythology of the horse, the most important animal in Tuvan life. It sounds like a cross between violin and cello. Often imitates the sound and rhythms of the horse.
