The morchang is a traditional Indian musical instrument, often classified as a type of jaw harp. It consists of a metal or bamboo frame with a flexible tongue that produces sound when plucked. The player holds the morchang against their mouth and varies the pitch by changing the shape of their mouth and the airflow. This instrument is commonly used in folk music across various regions of India, particularly in Rajasthan and Gujarat. The morchang is known for its distinctive twangy sound and is often played alongside other instruments, such as the dholak or harmonium, to enhance musical performances.
