Introduction
The mouth organ is one of the traditional instruments of Taiwan's aborigines. The Atayal are especially renowned for their playing skill, especially for the multi reed mouth organ.
Most of the mouth organ had a body made from bamboo and bronze strips. It has many colloquial names, which probably came from the materials used and the number of reeds.
The mouth organ was the musical instrument most widely used by the Atayal. Traditionally unmarried men have serenaded the woman who has taken their fancy to show their affection. They are also essential items during banquets and special ceremonies. |
