No fair. Dmitriy is off-mic, giving Viktor the tonal advantage in this duel.

After listening to altai music, wondered what kind of instrument it was but could not find the name, now here i am😂 the sound is slightly different than the Saz and the strings get quiet a lot quicker due the shorter strings. Very interesting instrument. Salamlar from turkey!❤

[@tack9571]

It's nothing like anything from Arabia or Turkey. It's more like a Japanese or Chinese instrument.

[@user-vp2ey1ex7p]

[@dbadagna]

This instrument must be the origin of the Russian balalaika.

[@BrandonJuice]

it's actually quite opposite

[@tack9571]

It's not Kazakh

[@Orgil.]

Mongol music

[@bgnmgl]

This instrument is called Tovshuur and only Mongolic people have this. However Kazakhs got this from the Mongolians and called it dombra.

[@ulanbatyr4442]

Kazakhs and Mongolians share some history together long before,so I won’t say kazakhs got it from Mongolians

[@xlarge7370]

How do you know?

[@henryymukasa_AfricanBoy]

Was it a graduation ceremony??

[@irinaromova7745]

Hm. It's actually our traditional clothing. And the red silk tassel on the top of the hat is Oirat national symbol. They say, Oirats started to wear this red tassel for Genghis Khan could easily see them in his army.

[@user-kw6wj4nv2o]

Калмыки, читайте казахский эпос "Аркалык батыр" там описана о тех войнах между казахами и калмыками, и о дружбе казахского батыра Аркалык, и калмыкского батыра по имени Хонха, если не ошибаюсь...

[@nomnom468]

У нас свой эпос есть.
