Gogona is an Assamese jaw harp primarily used in Bihu music in Assam. This is made of bamboo and the free ends of the instrument are struck repeatedly with the fingers to emit a distinctive sound. The instrument is held between the thumb and the forefinger of the left hand and the portion, which is narrowed down, is held between the teeth. The player strikes the free tongue to and fro.
