Description

Morchng, according to a traditional Indian recipe, has a very hard tongue, large gaps, high frequencies. Due to the low sensitivity, the stroke requires an much greater force than with most jews harps - this will respond to the usual touch only with a polished smile. But, as you get used to it, it turns out that his sound stretches surprisingly for a long time and evenly, the timbre, in general, is a bearing, but the character is really unique. The tongues are bent from the plane, allowing to buzz, but not falling into the buzzing - it is not noticeable here due to the construction-limited distinguishing of the overtones. Difficult, but interesting.
