Sygyt
(written in Cyrillic: Сыгыт) Sygyt has a midrange fundamental and is characterized by strong, flute-like or rather piercing harmonics, reminiscent of whistling - "sygyt" means "whistling". Also described as an imitation of the gentle breezes of summer, the songs of birds, the ideal sound for the harmonics is termed “Чистый звук”, which is Russian for “clear sound”.
To perform Sygyt, the tongue rises and seals around the gums, just behind the teeth. A small hole is left back behind the molars, either on the left or right side. The sound is then directed between the teeth to the front of the mouth. The lips form a bell like shape, usually with an “ee” vowel, and the sound is directed through this small opening. Pitch is manipulated exactly the same way as in khomeii style.
