A Single Thread Plays the Igil

The musician in the video is John Pascuzzi- the man behind a single thread.

The primary sound of “a single thread” comes from an instrument called an igil (ee-GIL), a 2-stringed Tuvan musical instrument, usually made from a solid piece of pine or larch, and played with a bow. The top of the sound box is covered with skin, like a drum. The strings are made from the hairs of a horse’s tail, strung parallel, not twisted, but may also be made of nylon strands. The igil features a carved horse’s head at its top. A Single Thread

    This is not that great. The two string brother to this instrument is the erhu, which also has a horse head often on the top.
    Check out youtube under erhu for some real kick ass vids.

    Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
    I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
    God will appreciate it.
