The Karombi mouth harp

The  "Karombi"  is a mouth harp of the Toraja poeple in South Sulawesi. It belongs to the mouth harps where the vibration of the tongue is produced by pulling the string. This model is not a good one, it is a first attempt of making one by a young student in Rantepao. The "Karombi" is almost extinct, only few people still know how to produce or play it.
