Bamboo Jaw Harp (Danmoi) 竹製口簧琴

Code : TT 106

Introduction :

The jew’s harp is thought to be one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. It consists of a flexible tongue cut out of, or attached to, a small frame usually of bamboo or metal. The tongue is free at one end to allow it to be plucked with a finger or cord. The player holds the frame of the instrument between his teeth and plucks its tongue with his finger. The player’s mouth acts as a resonator. Changing the position of lips, cheeks, teeth, tongue and controlling the breath can make different sounds. The player holds the instrument in his mouth, and the name jew’s harp is generally considered to be a corruption of jaw’s harp. It produces a quiet but appealing sound, and is commonly used as a tool of passing on messages, expressing emotions and in courtship.

簡介：

口簧琴被認為是世界上最古老的樂器之一。它包含一個可自由振動的琴簧，琴簧在琴身外面或附着琴身，琴身通常用竹子或金屬製成。琴簧的一端沒有被固定，可以用手指或線、細繩彈撥。演奏者握住琴身，放在牙齒之間，將嘴靠在琴簧的表面，用手指彈撥琴簧。演奏者的口腔成為一個自然的共鳴箱，隨着嘴唇、臉頰、牙齒、舌頭的位置變化，以及控制輕、重、緩、急的氣息，便可隨演奏者心緒而發出不同的聲響。演奏者把樂器放在他嘴裡演奏，因此亦被稱為『顎琴』。口簧琴會發出寧靜、但吸引人的聲音，通常用作傳話、表達情感及求偶的工具。
