Turuu

Turuu is a traditional Mongolian musical instrument, often referred to as the "Mongolian lute." It is a stringed instrument with a pear-shaped body, similar in appearance to a guitar, but with a longer neck and a distinctive sound. The Turuu typically has 13 to 15 strings, which are made of horsehair and tuned in fifths. The instrument is held vertically, with the player strumming the strings with a plectrum or their fingers.

The Turuu is an essential part of Mongolian culture and is often used in traditional music and performances. It is also used in modern Mongolian music, blending traditional sounds with contemporary influences. The instrument's unique sound and versatility make it a popular choice among Mongolian musicians.

The Turuu is not only a musical instrument but also a symbol of Mongolian heritage. It is often used in cultural events and festivals, representing the rich musical traditions of the Mongolian people. The instrument's design and sound are deeply rooted in Mongolian history and have been passed down through generations.
