    old instrument, known in many countries

    jews harp

    Jew's harp, humming iron, mouth harp, classic folk instrument, still popular today in the Alpine region, but also known in many other cultures, e.g. in Asia or Russia.

    Many names exist for this small instrument.

    A metal spoon is made to vibrate. If you hold the instrument in front of your mouth between your lips, the tones become loud because the mouth becomes the resonance body of the instrument.

    The jew's harp has a very unique sound that has something primeval about it. The jew's harp is also a shamanic instrument.

    The roots of this instrument can be traced back to pre-Christian times. Their origins are in Asia, Mongolia and Siberia.The South Asian jaw harps are built slightly differently than the European ones. They are made from a piece of sheet brass. The Danmoi from Vietnam has become known in this way.
    In Europe, the jew harp is a popular folk instrument in the Alpine region, but also in Sicily and the Balkans.

    Hulusi - chinese gourd flute

    The Hu-Lu-Si is not a double reed instrument but produces the sound with simple reeds from metal.
    A gourd is used for the mouthpiece to blow three pipes together. One pipe has fingering holes for playing melodies, the other two on the sides playing as a bordun.

    So the sound remember to a bagpipe.
    Although the metal tongues make a soft vibrating sound, similar like a mouth-organ.

    Simple Hulusi have often only one bordun, and the third pipe is just a fake. This Hulusi, we offer, has two bordun. They are tuned in quint.

    To play the Hulusi is easy, you don't need a special technic, you just blow in. You can open or close the bordun, but how much borduns are open it need more air to play..Chinese wind-instruments are signed for the tonalitiy at the third hole. This means an instrument chinese F, sounds in C, the deepest note of the melodypipe is C. The large bordun than is tuned in D, like the second note of the melody-pipe. The small bordun than sounds in A, a quint higher than D. You can play a none at the melodypipe ( deep C to high D).

    The Hulusi is availabel in differnt tunes and qualities:

    high sound:

    • chinese D - deepest note F, bordun E and B

    deep sound:

    • chinese G - deepest note D, bordun E and B
    • chinese F - deepest note C, bordun D and A

    Every Hulusi has a luck-knot and a hardcase.
