The Altai folk musical instruments are topshur – plucked, Ikili – bow, shor – wind, komus – reed. Kai is a throat singing, a musical genre. The performer of the Kai in the Altai is called Kaichi. The Kaichi in there singing use those ligaments that are usually not used throughout the life of the human being.

Based on the content of the story the singer is using different sounds. For example if the hero is meeting the snake that the singer is whistling, if he met a bear then roaring.
The singer is able even to portray the sound of cavalry swords and whistles of the wind, the sounds of the forest, the rivers, the herd of horses …The sound of the double-stranded toshour, which is made of cedar with horsehair strings, sounds incredible!
