I just bought my first Morin Khuur so your lesson was very informative, I live in Australia so I’m pretty sure not many Morin Khuur players over here!

Really appreciate your very clear explanation! Thanks from China (here for 35 years)

I'm thinking of starting morin khuur. It is such an awesome instrument. Thanks for this video!

[@fiddlefan8958]

Thanks so much. I play a Western fiddle. Morin Khuur is amazing, and your skill is off the charts!

My home page suggested The Hu to me. I was like, awesome KZbin, how did you know? Since then I have been reading and watching videos about Chinggis Khaan, and I have decided to learn to play Morin Khuur in my fifties.

Thanks for a great in-depth explanation into this wonderful and unique Mongolian musical instrument! Never would've known without your explanations how very differently it's played than other stringed musical instruments! Wish you all the best in your endeavors in the field of your pursuit!

I bought a morin khuur in UB many years ago, but couldn't find a teacher. So happy, you explain so well....I can't wait to go home from work and try it again! I also love your playing. So beautiful!

Hello from Byrayt republick! You amazing!

[@wade2393]

thank you! I bought my morin khuur in Nei Mongu amost 20 years ago and had to watch 'Story of the Weeping Camel' in an attempt to learn to play it - need more lessons like this!

This honestly deserves more views! Great video!

Thank you very much for this. It's a beautiful instrument with precious little on it in English

My first encounter with the Morin Khuur was when I heard The Hu a few years ago. Then I stumbled over a video by Sun Kuaikuai. I was attracted to her eyes and beauty, but it only took me a few seconds to realize that she is also a skilled Morin Khuur player. So I looked up more of her videos on KZbin and Baidu. I must say that I like the sound of the Morin Khuur but I don't know very much about it, so I find it very interesting when I come across videos like this one. I haven't had time to go through your channel yet so I don't know if you have more videos like this one, but I hope you will post more similar videos. The bow look like a modern cello bow while, like you said, the traditional bow is more like an arc. Is there any difference whatsoever between the two bow types when you play? Does the Morin Khuur come in different sizes, like alto, tenor, baryton? If so, how do you refer to them in Mongolian? I understand that the strings are made from hair from a horse's tail. How are they treated and made into strings? How do you string and tune the Morin Khuur? When and where did the Morin Khuur first occur and how and how wide did it spread in the world?

Finally, an instrument to go along with khöömi.

I am just in the building stage of a Morin Khuur. Usually i build guitars. As soon as it's done, i'm sure questions will arise. 😅 thank you for the video. Great content.

[@polozovv]

I would love to learn more! Thank you

i love how many variation of sounds it can make for such simple yet beautiful instrument with only two strings, there is a Scandinavian instrument called a "tagelharpa" it can have 3 or 2 I've seen some with 4 strings it sounds quite similar.
