The Karinding jew's harp originates from the western part of the Indonesian island of Java. Its characteristic sound was used to keep insects away and protect the rice fields. In the Sundanese language, “Karinding” originally means “tool for driving away.” The instrument is placed against the lips and set into vibration by striking the tongue (tongue = vibrating middle bar). Fine, overtone-rich sounds are created through breathing technique and changes in the oral cavity. Each karinding is handmade – slight differences in shape, color, and sound are characteristic and make each piece unique.
