Subject: MY IGIL WAS STOLEN LAST NIGHT $500 REWARD
Body: Hello. My name's Enrique Ugalde. I am a throat singer who's studied the ancient art of "Khoomei" with Masters in Central Asia (Tuva). This last Summer, I competed in the International Throat Singing Symposium where I won Third place. With my winnings, I had HAND MADE for me by the best Tuvan Instrument maker Aldar Tamdyn an IGIL. This BOWED instrument is the throat singer's companion.
It is a VERY distinct instrument. Dark green stained with a majestic HORSE HEAD carved onto the top has 2 strings which are actually bundles of fishing line.
Last night my Igil was STOLEN from my van from SE Hawthorne and 46th in front of DINGO's. I believe the person who took it mistook it for a guitar as it was in a guitar gig bag. The only money to be had from such a rare instrument would be to maybe the four people in the US who know what it is and how to play it. PLEASE PLEASE if you have any information about my beloved IGIL, please contact me @ soriah23@yahoo.com.
THERE IS A $500 REWARD FOR IT'S SAFE RETURN!!!
