You are right. Mongolian people talk that Morin Khuur's sound/tone depends on the musician who is playing horse fiddle. It means anyone who can feel the music instruments and tone/sound of horse fiddle, that musician can play very well.
Mongolian morin khuur /horse fiddle/ is amazing instrument. It can says everything only using 2 chords. Morin khuur always talks about Mongolian horses and their galloping, Mongolian wide beautiful lands and kindly Mongolian nation.
It is a beautiful sounding instrument, but they talk of more than only horses, I've heard more than one artist pull a very realistic wolf howl out of their morin khuurs too. .
i know. i kept coming back to this. as a Mongol i’m accustomed to the sound of Morin Khuur but this is exceptional. and just fyi the player is the son of the Morin Khuur maestro Chi Bulag from Inner Mongolia.
@@eaststorm1282 Thanks to update us about these infos. One day I hope to visit your wonderful country. At the moment, I bring it to me as music for my soul.
Genghis Khan invaded Poland in the 12 century...and I am Polak..so I might be 1/30,000 mongolian.. maybe that is why I am drawn to Mongolian and Kazakh music and way of life.
I literally never heard of this instrument before and im so grateful I got to hear this man play it, its one of my favorite instruments now, it plays so beautifully
Simplemente fantástico!! No tengo palabras para demostrar lo que me hace sentir esta canción, si fuera algo más larga seguro que lloro de la emoción que me produce escucharla... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
1: How did i know he was going to play those first three notes at the chorus? XD 2: This piece is very beautiful, well done! 3: That is an interesting instrument. i like it!
This instrument has captivated me in a way few instruments ever could. I play the piano and the violin and I'm desperately longing to own one of these, even going as far as to try to construct one with my own two hands. As time went by I realized this wasn't going to happen. Such a shame they're so expensive, not something a poor student like me could afford anytime soon. Perhaps in the future I'll get my hands on one of these things, I'd be so happy. Great performance this, wonderful sound.
I have made my own Morin Khuur, it's taken me about 1-2 weeks and I used materials I had lying around and spent no money. I think it is easier than you think and can be done for a very low price depending on what tools you have. I constructed mine almost completely with a miter saw and a bottle of gorilla glue.
Hi there, just wanted to comment this even tho half a year passed hehe. Sooo... here we go ( a para that I wrote despite having a paper due in few hours- typical student activity haha) Morin khuur is not just a simple instrument, it has a long tradition and deep culture that belongs to Great Mongolia - a country that once ruled the world... For ancient Mongolians, horse was not just a pet or ride- it was a friend, partner, companion. Child were given horse as a gift (usually when turning 3 where they also held a hair ceremony) and grow up with it, relying on it at times. Although many argue on the origin of this instrument, many legends somehow agree about Mongolian man making this instrument grieving after his beloved horse. 2 strings and bow are all made of horse tail hair just like (historic and and still in use) banners of Mongolia. The top part- carefully carved horse head and strings made from horse tail hair- this instrument was made to glorify Mongolian mans greatest companion that helped in many ways- a horse. Even now, every family has at least one Morin Khuur at home thats usually given as a wedding gift by relatives and people should play it at least once a year with kind of ceremony- "Javar urgeeh" which basically means to keep cold away during upcoming winter and it gives the house refreshing sound and enlightens people. People sing a song with it, sing a praise with it and my favourite one- told tales with it which is naimed Hailal - basically after how people told tales for few days straight under candles light and how the cande "Flows" - I can't really translate but I think this word delivers the meaning of word Hailal, just in a less elegant way than it is in Mongolian.......... Thanks for reading :)
Making your own morin khuur is possible, you just have to put your mind to it. We had no money to buy this instrument so we decided to make it ourselves. We didn't had any woodworking experience. First one turned out pretty bad but was functional. We worked 6 months for the next instrument and it turned out pretty good. We are now making two new instruments, concert quality hopefully. So we, two kids from highschool, were able to make this instrument. I believe you can successed as well.
I had been playing Morin Khuur (Mongolian name) aka Matouqin (Mandarin name) for a year. My Teacher is of Inner Mongolian Origin hence I learn the Matouqin (Inner Mongolian Style) This is Master Chi Burgud playing the matouqin. Compared to Morin Khuur, the design here is smaller and has a different tuning mechanism. Matouqin is the Inner-Mongolian Style of Morin Khuur. Yes, Inner Mongolian culture has Chinese Influence. His father Master Chi Bulag, composed the "Thousands of Horse are galloping" which is one of the famous song for the matouqin.❤
Please don’t call it Ma Tou Qin because it is very offensive to the Mongols no matter if they are from Mongolia or Inner Mongolia. Also the Morin Khuur in Inner Mongol was influenced by violin because Chi Bulag knows to play violin; on the other hand the Morin Khuur is Mongolian was influenced by Cello because of the Russians. So please don’t say that the Morin Khuur from Inner Mongolia is influenced by the Chinese. As matter of fact, all string instruments played in China such as Er Hu and Si Hu etc are originally from the nomadic people. The word Hu (胡）in Er Hu literally means the nomads of the north and therefore Er Hu (二胡） means the two stringed instrument of the Hu people.
Super late reply, but a lot of songs like this can be found on Musescore.com. It's unlikely that you'll be able to find one written specifically for the Morin Khuur.
Can you provide piano and morin khuur tabs please. Completely mesmerizing. To think that foreigner bringing out soul of this instrument so beautiful, I applaud your music sir.
That “foreigner” is Chi Burgud, son of Huur master Chi Bulag, although they are inner Mongolian, they are nonetheless my kin. Go elsewhere to cast ignorant judgement on somebody else you “foreigner”.
I very much like the Morin kuur as well as the yatga hand held harp. I get into this Mongolian trip since I watched Marko Polo series a little over a year and a half ago and it has been exciting ever since Oh! Yes I since a kindred spirit and sporting a Mongolian hairdo. Keep up the good work. Last but important, Where can I get a Morin kuur and a yatga harp? Thank you capt John Dancing Beard over and out

The morin khuur has three strings; two on the instrument and one in your heart.

exactly
😂
oh, your words are so beautiful, so touching.
The strings. The bow. The wood. Musician hands. Musician touch. Location. Pressure. This makes a perfect Морин хуур sound
This song single-handedly makes me want to buy a Morin khuur
and then spend the 30 years it takes to play at this level
This instrument touches the soul.
yep. piano is pretty cool
@@les8947 Morin khuur
The player named Chi.Burgud.His father is the Morin Khuur master Chi.Bulag（Inner Mongolian）
Энэ аялгууг сонсох бүрдээ аавыгаа ямар их санадаг гээч... өөрийн эрхгүй л нүдэнд нулимс цийлэгнэчихсэн байдаг. Маш их баярлалаа ийм гайхалтай аялгуу бэлэглэсэнд...

Every single time I watch this video and listen to this piece of art I start to cry as a son who meets again his beloved Dad.
Not normally a very emotional person, but I was holding back tears listening to this. Hits right in the soul. Wow.

the morin khuur and world's music king are perfect harmony
One of the best things I've ever heard.
как же невероятно прекрасно звучит инструмент. музыкант уровня бог!
One of the most beautiful things that my soul as a musician has ever felt .... and as a man

Well, Khan didn't personally invade Poland. He only sent a small regiment to scout and collect information beyond Russia.
CHINGIS KHAAN...!!! NO genghis khan
To remind you kazakh music is totally different from mongolian music
CHINGGIS KHAAN !!!!!!!!
I literally never heard of this instrument before and im so grateful I got to hear this man play it, its one of my favorite instruments now, it plays so beautifully
The magic sound of the magic moriin khuur
気高いほどに美しく切ない。
Absolutely beautiful playing of the Morin Khurr

My Father was wonderful, too - always very kind and wise.

This is unbelievably beautiful. A gorgeous song and an exquisite performer. Thank you for making this lovely video for us!
This is the mother of violin. Mongolian nomads invented the fiddle.

I've hardly heard the morin knhuur played more beautifully than this.
the players father plays (at he used to) better. the father’s name is Chi bulag
Tuyệt, now i'm crying
when the player is the son of the maestro Chi Bulag . like father like son.
Thank you...this is really wonderful music. It touches me deeply

If you can afford a violin, you can afford one of these... Maybe not the best, but surely a good one!
