It is considered to be one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. The instrument is native to Asia, but its use spread all over the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis instrument is made in Nepal and consists of a flexible metal tongue attached to a frame. The frame is held against the performer's teeth, and the metal tongue is plucked with the finger to produce a note. The murchunga is a one-pitch instrument, but the player, by changing the shape of the mouth and the flow of air, can create the most beautiful melodies and overtones. When the tongue is made to vibrate, an enchanting buzzing, like that of a swarm of bees is heard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the product\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese Nepalese mouth harps are not tuned to a particular tone, they each have their own unique sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: brass frame with iron blade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComes in a cardboard box, in assorted colours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tranquility Glastonbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56162924757377,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0553\/0753\/files\/mouthharp02.webp?v=1787516224","url":"https:\/\/tranquilityglastonbury.co.uk\/products\/murchunga-mouth-harp","provider":"Tranquility Glastonbury","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
