Introduction to the traditional music of Morin Khuur

The Morin Qin is called "Morin Hur" in Mongolian, and it is a two-stringed Qin decorated with horse heads. For more than seven centuries, this instrument has played a pivotal role in the culture of Mongolian nomads. According to written records, stringed instruments decorated with horse heads on the handles appeared during the Mongol Empire in the 13th and 14th centuries. The importance of the morinouqur goes far beyond its instrumental function. It is an important part of celebrations and daily life.
