Shoutbox

12:42 - Lokaeda
What minute of the song? I just hear your usual orchestra instruments.

12:38 - Gawain
the whatever instrument is playing on the opening of Persepolis from Septicflesh, NEVER heard that in any other song ever

12:33 - Lokaeda
Ensemble Khan Bogd*

12:31 - Lokaeda
:p I like the sound of that instrument a lot. Make sure to check bands like Huun-Huur-Tu, Chirgilchin, Ensemble Khna Bogd to get a glimpse at it (as well as to Mongol/Tuvan folk music in general). Well worth it in my opinion :)

12:29 - Redn1ght
Again with F? Meant lute. screw typos. :(

12:20 - Lokaeda
It's a string instrument.

12:18 - Redn1ght
Morin Khuur? I get the impression of it as a mix of flute and violin from the looks.
