Kouxian Mouth Harp with 4 Tongues Copper Length 7 cm Gold Colour Folk Musical Instrument of the Yi People for Musicians and Beginners
You already have the maximum available quantity in your cart.
This kouxian mouth harp follows the long musical tradition of the Yi people and offers 4 tongues in one compact instrument. Each tongue is cut from a separate reed, providing a wider selection of tones than simpler versions. The instrument is made of copper, giving it a warm golden appearance and a pleasant metallic sheen. The reeds converge at the bottom into a narrow fan shape, which is comfortably held between the fingers. The mouth harp is suitable for musicians looking to expand their sound range, as well as for beginners interested in folk instruments.
When played, the tongue vibrates just near the lips, and the mouth acts as a natural resonating chamber. By moving the tongue, changing the mouth's opening, and breathing, the tone can be amplified, softened, or altered in colour, allowing each piece to sound slightly different. With a length of approximately 7 cm, the instrument easily fits into a pocket, hand, or small pouch. The four reeds side by side allow for transitions between tones, playing short melodies, rhythmic motifs, and long resonant harmonies. The kouxian is perfect for evenings around the campfire, on trips, in music workshops, or as an interesting exhibit in a collection of instruments from around the world.

Hold the instrument by the lower joined end and gently place the reeds against your lips to allow the tongues to vibrate freely. Pluck the tongue lightly with your finger and experiment with how the sound changes according to the shape of your mouth and the position of your tongue. Do not bend the thin metal reeds or expose them to pressure; wipe them with a dry soft cloth after each use. Store the mouth harp in a dry place, preferably in a box or fabric pouch, where the reeds will not become deformed. With regular practice, you will soon master the basic technique, and the instrument will bring you joy for a long time.
The kouxian mouth harp with four tongues is an original folk instrument that conceals a surprisingly rich palette of tones within its small body. The manufacturer states C tuning, which allows it to be played alongside other instruments in the same key. Its small size will be appreciated by anyone who wants to have music at hand, whether on an outing, at a cottage, or while travelling. The instrument will delight experienced players seeking new sounds as well as beginners wanting to try something unusual. As a gift, it will impress anyone who enjoys world music, meditation, or traditional music of the Yi people.
