Sakha Traditional Musical Instruments
Khomus (Vargan, Jew's Harp)
A musical instrument consisting of a thin metal tongue fixed at one end to the base of a two-pronged frame. The player holds the frame to his mouth, which forms a resonance cavity, and plucks the instrument's tongue.
You are listening to a sample of Khomus play from the song "Ohuokhai - sakha circle dance" (Album "The Blessing Songs of Nature", track #11)
