What's inside

• Playground: two hovering horsehair strings with side-stop pads, tsatsal harmonics, a bow pad, keyboard and MIDI input, and techniques from pizzicato to the horse whinny.

• Playing styles: Khalkh stage, Long song (urtiin duu), Tatlaga, Bii/ikel, Inner Mongolian — the unwritten ornaments, vibrato and bowing that players add, from Mongolian, Chinese, English and Russian sources and calibrated on a conservatory recording.
• Playlist: popular morin khuur pieces with links to original performances, A/B against your own copy of a recording, automatic comparison, a blind listening test and exportable feedback.
