An, never been seen, Ivory-Billed Woodpecker lays on a forgotten Igil, listening to the sound of the forest...

I is for Igil (Two-stringed Tuvan musical instrument, played by bowing the strings.) . . @animalalphab #animalalphabets #musicalalphabet #igil #horse #illustration #kidlitillustration #childrensillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CXBVY3ULUur/?utm_medium=tumblr

Alashensemble.com The doshpuluur is a three-stringed instrument, often compared to the banjo because it is plucked or strummed, although the doshpuluur's strings are unfretted. The sound box is made either entirely from wood or with goat skin stretched across a wooden frame. The first two strings are tuned a fifth apart and the third string forms the octave. In a four-stringed variety of doshpuluur, an extra string doubles the fifth an octave below. The igil is a two-stringed instrument whose teardrop-shaped body is held between the legs and bowed like a cello. The igil is sometimes called a horse-head fiddle because the peghead of the instrument is often decorated with the carved head of a horse. The sound box may be made entirely of wood, or the face of the instrument may be goat skin stretched across the frame. The strings are made of horsehair. Unfretted and tuned a fifth apart, they are fingered very lightly, not pressed to the fingerboard. The tones of the igil are varied and rich, not unlike the sound of a cello. #igil #doshpuluur #alash #alashensemble #austintx #música #music #art #atx #512 #austinmusicscene #universityoftexas #utaustin #springbreak #tuva #tuvanmusic #tyva #tyvan #sing #vocalist (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu6wFCFldQv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jse80g61kj5z
