To breathe penetrating, inimitable sound into an ordinary piece of wood. To bring it to life. To turn it into an instrument that makes people laugh and cry, to feel empathy. This art - the art of making a musical instrument - was transmitted to Aldar Tamdyn by his father - a musician and the first master of Chadan in making folk musical instruments.
Now both Aldar Tamdyn and his two sons are musicians and craftsmen.
In 1998 Aldar Tamdyn tried to make his first musical instrument. The knowledge received from his father did not disappoint him, his hands remembered, felt the wood, and the igil sounded.
And in 2008 minister of culture of Tuva Vyacheslav Dongak, who knew Aldar as a musician of the folk group "Chirgilchin", promised help in creating his own atelier for making Tuvan national instruments, and allocated 50 thousand rubles that became the starting capital for the family firm of the Tamdyn family. They bought carpentry equipment, and within a year they registered as a private enterprise - OOO "Ovaa". This year, OOO "Ovaa" received a grant of 500 thousand rubles.
