Amyrga
The amyrga (Tuvan: амырга) is a horn in Tuvan culture originally used as a hunting horn for hunting stags,[1] but is also used in Tuvan music as a musical instrument,[2] such as by Huun-Huur-Tu.[3]
Usage
[edit]The amyrga comes in a conic shape, with the user tightening lips around the narrower end and inhaling to produce a series of overtones that imitate the call of male Siberian red deer during the fall mating season.[4]
