Jew’s harp big size by musican Tsendee

Description

Due to the nomadic nature of nomads, instruments had to be small enough to be easily portable. The Aman khuur, which means mouth instrument, is the general name for the mouth harp or the jew’s harp. The jew’s harp is thought to be one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. It’s a small musical instrument which is held against the teeth or lips and is plucked with the fingers. It is played by changing the shape of one’s mouth and manipulating the sprung tongue of the instrument to change the pitch. It creates a unique “springy” sound. There are two types of khel khuur.
