It's our most popular pocket instrument.

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 festivities, relaxation, and courtship. With the melodies of ncas, entire stories can be told, and emotions can be particularly well expressed. Lovers make initial contact using dan moi, reveal their feelings, introduce themselves and their families, "talk" about their desires, and tease each other in lengthy musical dialogues. Fascinating how such a small instrument has such a large sound spectrum!
