@sansalka well...thank you for kind words.

What kind of wood for igil?

[allakarjallak]

@Ukraincy this instrument is built from all kind of wood..but there`s no need for correct wood...belive me...just use what you can find...basically it`s a big spoon...so use whatewer you like ..or can find...main sound is made by rawhide..the skin cowering the "spoon"

wow... jiust wow...

where are you filming?

what is the distance between the bridge and the nut for the right frequency?

what wood did you use?

what strings?

what tuning?

just wow

@noone123567 filming in Tallinn...

There`s no way i can tell you what`s the distance between briges...cause my my measuring tape is misplaced...but i can tell you ..there`s no need for "right" lenght...as theres no frets..so no need for the correct mensure lenght... but i belive its near as on guitar...

this instrument contains some pine and oak (all i found in scrap box)

strings for this one are standard chello strings AD

Love-it,,,Love-it,,,Love-it. Where did you get the plans for your agil? Who taught you how to sing.... Ya done good!!!

What is the tuning for the igil?

[Ukraincy]

@allakarjallak I was asking because using flexible wood with low density may lead to bending of neck.

Thanks for anwser, I like the spoon comparison ; ]
