Homemade Igil - Song of the Lonely Man.

Here's me trying out my new igil on the song, Song of the Lonely Man. Yes, I know, the igil isn't always in tune, and most of the time I'm just bowing one string, and the bow didn't stay in one line. However, I was mostly concentrating on singing, and couldn't really hear the igil over my voice. Sooo... yes, that is my excuse.

if i don't watch the vid, i can't even imagine that's sung by a guy like u

i mean interesting and cute

throat singing is surely better than igil playing ^^

but it's cool enough

is it gonna be possible to see u singing ezenggileer or chylandyk ?

@zorAloha

Thanks. :-)

I had only a few hours of igil playing experience, so I definitely didn't have coordination! :-)

Sure. I can do chylandyk well, but am not a big fan of it. ;-)

When I get get, I'll make a video. :-)

Can you put up the link for the blueprints or help me out with them because i dont have 700 for an igil

@kingovviking

Sure. Well, I actually have them on my computer, but I'm in Japan right now, though I think I'll be back in about two weeks, so let me know again then, and I'll send them to you!

You really are something else, mate! I'm part of the Gen-X short attention span generation, so there's honestly not a lot of 5 minute videos I tend to watch all the way through, but this is one I'm going to be watching again.

Could you play the khuumei ragchaa please? I can sing it, but I do not have and can not play the Morin Khur.

you don't need to excuse - it sounds very well. I wish I could do the hoomei so well, but I still learn the basics.

[pigeonflipper]

so is it possible for me to have a copy of your igil plans please,, :)

[keymankeys1960]

really nice

[tkbomber]

Dude, I really like that! What language is that?

[StablestOrphan]

Do you use horsehair strings? If so, what hair count? And if not, do you employ fishing line like I know a lot of folks do?
