The tsuur (цуур, Mongolian), choor (Kyrgyz), or chuur (шоор, Tuvan) is an end-blown flute of varying lengths that is common among Inner Asian pastoralists.

The blowing technique utilizes the teeth, tongue, and lips in the same way as the ney used in Persian classical music.

The melodies that are played on the Tsuur are usually imitations of the sound of water, animal cries, and birdsongs as heard by shepherds whilst on the steppes or the mountain slopes of the Altai.

A three-holed pipe was in use in Mongolia in the 18th century and was believed to possess the magical properties of bringing lamb’s bones back to life.

Traditional Mongolian tsuur music was added to the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding in 2009.
