The Horsehead Fiddle, is a symbol of Mongolian pride and a cornerstone of its musical heritage. This traditional two-stringed instrument, characterized by its distinctive horsehead carving at the top of the neck, produces sounds deeply evocative of the Mongolian landscape and the nomadic lifestyle that has defined the nation for centuries.

It plays a pivotal role in the Mongolian throat singing performances, long song, and various traditional ceremonies and festivals, bridging the past and present, and cementing a unique cultural identity. Through the resonant strings of the Morin Khuur, listeners are transported to the heart of Mongolia, experiencing its soulful melodies and embracing the profound tranquility and majesty of its landscapes.
