Morsing, also called mukhchang or moorchang, is a struck solid instrument. This is also known as Jew’s Harp in western countries. 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. It is usually played as a upapakkavadya, or a subsidiary percussion instrument along with the mridangam and is also played in percussion ensembles.
