What it does
- Shaped like a traditional Vietnamese Dan Moi so you can play it by mouth

- Simple lyre-like frame sized for hand and mouth play
- A fun pick for musicians curious about world instruments
On a musician's shelf or in your own hands, this Dan Moi bass mouth harp brings a piece of Vietnamese music tradition into the room. You hold the frame near your mouth and pluck the metal tongue to make sound, just like players have done for generations.
This version is shaped after a brass bass Dan Moi, though its tone leans closer to a bamboo one. The frame keeps the simple lyre-like shape of the original instrument, with a slim tongue that you flick to set it vibrating.
It is made to order in the USA once you place your order. This is a fun piece for anyone curious about folk instruments or looking to try mouth harp playing for the first time.
