Wonderful sound, beautifully made. I love this Tovshuur and play it constantly, it is very light and short and produces a BIG tone. The size difference to an igil is shown in my photo. The only difference between the photo is that the sound hole design is slightly different, with mine having a hand painted flower instead of the wood carving over the sound hole shown in the picture. The craftsmanship is beautiful and I would recommend this to anyone looking to play a new instrument!
