Overview
Brumle Drumbla 10 x 3 cm Metal Mouth Harp with Curved Sides Silver Russian Folk Musical Instrument for Playing and Throat Singing

Narrow metal brumle with elegantly curved sides is a pocket instrument for anyone attracted to the sound of traditional Russian and ethnic music. It measures 10 x 3 cm, making it fit into a pocket, pencil case, or small pouch. The silver frame widens from the narrow end to the head, and its sides are gently curved, giving the instrument an elegant silhouette. In the centre of the frame, a flexible tongue leads to a bent tip, which is plucked with a finger. The brumle is also known as drumbla or mouth harp and is played using the mouth, which serves as a resonating chamber.

Anyone can start, as knowledge of notes or musical training is not required. The frame is easily placed against slightly open teeth, the lips are relaxed, and the finger plucks the end of the tongue. The tone changes with the movement of the tongue, the shape of the mouth, and the breath, allowing for rhythmic patterns and simple melodies to be played. The tongue is attached to the head of the frame by two joints. The narrow profile is easy to hold between the fingers and is suitable for players with smaller mouths.

The brumle has a firm place in Russian folk music and is also used in throat singing, ethnic music, and meditation. Its vibrating tone complements singing, guitar, and drums, adding an unusual backdrop to group playing. With practice, you will gradually learn to change the speed of strikes, emphasise individual harmonic tones, and create your own rhythmic patterns. You will especially appreciate the narrow shape when you want to keep the instrument handy without taking up space in your luggage.

  • Type of instrument – brumle (drumbla, mouth harp)
  • Dimensions – 10 x 3 cm
  • Material – metal
  • Frame shape – slim frame with curved sides

  • Playing method – plucking the bent tip of the tongue with a finger

If the tongue touches the teeth during your first attempts, move the frame a little further away or open your mouth wider. Pluck gently and gradually try faster strikes. After playing, wipe the instrument with a dry cloth and store it separately to prevent the tongue from bending or scratching. Due to its small size, you can keep the brumle with you at all times, whether on a trip, at the cottage, or during band practice.

The brumle with curved sides is a practical and undemanding instrument for beginners and players looking to expand their collection with another shape. The typical vibrating sound enriches group playing, singing, and moments of calm. The instrument takes up minimal space, and learning to play it can be achieved in a short time. The slim silver frame and the bent tip of the tongue facilitate comfortable plucking even during extended playing.
