What is Morin Khuur?
The morin khuur (Mongolian: морин хуур), also known as the horsehead fiddle, is a traditional Mongolian bowed stringed instrument. It is one of the most important musical instruments of the Mongol people and is considered a symbol of the Mongolian nation. The morin khuur is one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity identified by UNESCO The morin khuur is a piece of art. Handcrafted from start to finish, these instruments are full of detail and just breath traditional Mongolian culture. It’s a stunning instrument to look at and a beautiful instrument to listen to.
In the Mongolian Gobi farmer’s daily life, the Morin Khuur has another important use. When a mother camel gives birth to a calf, sometimes she rejects her calf due to various natural stress situations. Mongolian camel farmers use Morin Khuur-based melodies alongside special low-harmonic types of songs called “Khoosloh” to heal the mother camels’ stress and encourage her to re-adopt her calf. This re-adoption of farm animal practice is widely used in various nomadic civilizations worldwide but for Mongolian Gobi farmers’ cases, only this instrument is used on camels. In other cases, if a mother camel dies after giving birth to a calf, a farmer would use this Khoosloh technique alongside Morin Khuur melodies to encourage another mother camel who has her own calf to adopt the new one.

Beautiful instrument. Quality workmanship and sounds nice. It was shipped in a solid wood box. Thanks to videos online by Steve Morel and others online I am able to play scales and some simple songs after a few weeks. I took one star off because the screw hole in the bow frog for the screw attaching it to the stick is too large and the frog falls off. Wrapping the screw in threadlock tape has helped. Mostly. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to own this instrument. I am thrilled to play it!

It’s really pretty. Since person it was purchased for is just learning how to play it, I have no idea how it is supposed to sound!

I bought it for a gift and haven’t used it yet. But it seems to have a very good quality. I was realy impressed by the way how it was shipped. It was shipped in a wooden box padded very well. This demonstrates me, that Mongulai-Shop loves each item. Thanks,

I was surprised at how good the craftsmanship is on a beginner’s Morin Khuur. For $300 it is definitely underpriced, because the quality would’ve been worth an extra bit more than just $300. I love it!

The higher string itself (the left one) is really difficult to tune, otherwise this product is great. I also didn’t like the extra $100 for shipping fees, which forced me to buy this model instead of the slightly more expensive model that I wanted. I’m still learning this instrument and I’m struggling with it, but I’ll get there. This is my very first string instrument. This instrument comes with a bow, rosin, the instrument itself, and for some funny reason, they gave me socks xD
Be prepared to go on Amazon and buy better rosin, and in fact that will give you a better sound than using what they give you out of the box.
