Subject: RE: How to tune horse head fiddle
Hi folks,

I started playing the morin khuur 3 years ago, by myself, helped with lot of CD listening, and a short stay in Mongolia. "Official concert" tuning is F (low string) and Eb (high one), so a fourth is Ok, but there are also alternate tunigs according to the purpose of the instrument (epic, throat singing) or the tribe. It can also be tuned to a fifth.

A really great instrument to play, with lot of feelings.

Best regards, SAM C='
