	Igil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The neck and lute-shaped sound box are usually made of a solid piece of pine or other soft wood.
		Like the morin khuur of Mongolia, the igil typically features a carved horse's head at the top of the neck above the tuning pegs, and both instruments are known as the horsehead fiddle.
		The igil is held nearly upright when played, with the sound box of the instrument in the performer's lap, or braced against the top of his or her boot.

	Seth Augustus : Igils
		The Igil has a hauntingly beautiful sound and goes very well with Throatsinging...as it is in a similar frequency range.
		The peasant followed the directions from his dream and, while he was building the Igil, he started to feel very angry and sad.
		When he was finished, he played the Igil and all of those emotions came out in the music--people gathered to listen to the beautiful sounds....At that moment, he clouds parted at the top of a high mountain and the horse's double came charging down along with a whole herd of horses just like it.

		Since the Chirgilchin boys are heading back to Tuva now, Aldar sold me the last Igil he had, the one he used for his performances during this tour, and it was none other than the one I had played and oogled over a month before.
		A few hours before that, he was telling me about the origins of the Igil, and that the original pronunciation of the word Igil literally means "come back" (referring to the horse that came back to its owner).
		Your Igil may not look as pretty as you'd like at the moment, but when I played it, the sound was just as sweet as any of them.

	About the Hedgehog (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		According to the OED, this word is formed by compounding 'hedge' with 'hog', and is due to "its frequenting hedges and from its pig-like snout".
		This compound replaced the Old English word 'igil', which derives from the PIE root eg'hi- (g' = palatal g), which means 'hedgehog'.
		The form 'igil' occurred not only in Old English but in Old High German, and is cognate with the Russian word 'jozh', which comes from Common Slavic *izjos (

		Stepmother City blends the sounds of electric guitars and loops with folk instruments like the shakuhachi (a Japanese bamboo flute), doshpuloor (three-stringed banjo), and igil (a Mongolian horse-head fiddle connected with the spirit world), creating a synergistic blend of past and present.
		Sainkho claims that music and spirituality are related by desire, or the tension that yells to reawaken people.

	Huun-Huur-Tu - PopMatters Concert Review
		Alexei Saryglar clapped horse hooves together and thundered a giddy-up beat on his drum, while Sayan Bapa, one of the founders of Huun-Huur-Tu, plucked and fingered the strings of the doshpuluur, driving the music's spirited cantor as Kaigal-ool Khovalyg sawed soft and somber cries on the igil.
		Huun-Huur-Tu's song structures, though anchored by the beat of the drum and thump of the bass-like doshpuluur, were made richer with the high, slow drag of the igil and the byzaanchi.
		The byzaanchi and two igils kept a fast, steady pace while Alexei bowed his igil in a slow, moody pattern and sang the lead vocal in a soaring, aching voice.

		The byzanchie is pretty much how i got it from Sasha, the Igil, however, had unfinished wood, no headstock ornanment and a maroon body.
		The horse head i already had (i didn't carve it), so i fitted it to the head stock and then put a lacquer on the wood and repainted the rest.
		If you look closely you may be able to see the McIntyre violin pickup on the Igil, i also mounted one of their Banjo pickups internally on the Tobshuur

	Shu-De : Voices from the Distant Steppe - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		With their extraordinary harmonic-whistle vocal techniques, Tuvans could well be the next sampling craze.
		From the Central Asian country reputedly settled by the descendants of Genghis Khan, folk group Shu-de accompany songs derived from shamanistic rituals with instruments whose sounds are as irreproducible as the vocals, including two-stringed igil fiddle and doshpuluur lute, a particularly articulate khomus jaw's harp, and a variety of drums and rattles.
		The wildness of these songs evokes centuries of accommodation to a demanding landscape, but tongue-twister "Durgen Chugaa" goes even further to verify prehistoric associations with a Popeye the Sailor cult.
