By the way: ncas (pronounced "ncha"), as the H'mong people call their jaw harp, is traditionally made of brass in northern Vietnam. Among the H'mong, both men and women play this small instrument, which is used for celebrations, relaxation and courting. With ncas melodies you can tell whole stories and particularly well set to music emotions. Lovers establish the first contact using dan moi, reveal their feelings, introduce themselves and their families, "talk" about their desires and tease each other in long musical dialogues. Fascinating how such a small instrument has such a large sound spectrum!
