Handmade Nepali Murchunga | Authentic Folk Instrument – Swodeshi

Murchunga, also known as the Jaw Harp or Guimbardes, is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. Deeply rooted in Nepalese folk culture, this traditional instrument has been used for generations to create calm, rhythmic, and soulful melodies.

This handmade Nepali Murchunga is a small U-shaped metal instrument attached with a flexible alloy. It is played by plucking its alloy string with the forefinger while the frame is gently gripped between the teeth, allowing vibrations to resonate naturally through the mouth and body. The result is a soothing, meditative sound that feels both grounding and expressive.

Each Murchunga is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans in Nepal using traditional methods, making every piece unique in tone and character. It comes with a hand-carved wooden case that protects the instrument and reflects the simplicity of natural craftsmanship.
