This is so cool when you see it and hear it live. Last night (Christmas Eve), we again enjoyed listening to a couple of men play their horse head fiddles. I searched Youtube to find a presentation so you could enjoy it, too. Believe me, it's so much better live...like most things...but this will give you an idea of the skill. Watch the way the hand holds the bow and the way the fingers move on the strings. The dexterity is awesome. Then, the throat singing is something totally unique, as well. I'd never heard it until hearing it here!

That is impressive, but it makes my throat hurt to watch/listen. It seems like their vocal chords would be getting damaged?
