Ulaanbaatar
/MONTSAME/. The Borjigon horse-head
fiddle, which dates back to the 17th century, was brought back to its homeland
and placed in the Mongolian Theater Museum.
In 2004, a member of the Professors of
Cultural Studies team at the Mongolian University of Arts and Culture, head of
the Mongolian Ethnic Music Center, and ethnic music researcher D. Ganpurev
organized this work to bring back the flaxen chestnut fiddle to Mongolia. The
event continued with a “Horsehead Fiddle’s Historical Research” speech from him
and an “Altai” music group performance.
The flaxen chestnut
horse-head fiddle was restored with two strings and was played by the fiddler
D. Shinetsog.
