Murchunga Mouth Harp.
Murchunga Mouth Harp.
Description
The murchunga is a mouth harp, also known as jaw harp or Jew's harp (although it has no connection to Jews or Judaism). 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.
This 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.
