By the way: ncas (pronounced "ncha"), as the H'mong 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 courtship. With the melodies of ncas, entire stories can be told and emotions can be particularly well expressed through music. Lovers initiate 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. It's fascinating what a large sound spectrum such a small instrument has!
