Đàn môi


Derived from the mouth harp of the Hmong people, Đàn môi (in , "lip lute") is the Vietnamese name of a traditional musical instrument widely used in minority ethnic groups in Vietnam (including the Jrai "Rang Leh"). An inward orientated ("the lamella points inwards towards the mouth") idioglot (noncomposite: "the tongue and frame are of the same piece of material"), mouth harp somewhat similar to the metal heteroglot/compound jaw harp, the dan moi, rather than being held against the teeth while being played, like a jaw harp, is held against the lips while being played. This gives much more flexibility  to the player, leaving them freer to shape their oral cavity  as a resonance chamber to amplify the instrument. See also
