Any free-reed aerophone, having one or more air chambers and a free reed is a mouth organ. To make a sound, the performer places their lips over the chamber or holes in the instrument and blows or sucks air. Many chambers may be played simultaneously or separately. The techniques can be mastered by attending specialized mouth organ classes in India.
The mouth organ is found throughout the world through various names and appears in many different cultures. The harmonica and Asian free reed wind instruments, consisting of various bamboo pipes of varying lengths attached to a windchest, are two renowned variants. Another version is the melodica made out of a single tube and blown via a keyboard.
Christian Friedrich Ludwig Buschmann is widely regarded as the inventor of the harmonica. The contemporary harmonica comprises free metal reeds that are inserted into slots in a small metal-enclosed hardwood frame and driven by two parallel rows of wind channels. Diatonic, chromatic, tremolo, octave, symphonic, and bass harmonicas are among the numerous variations of harmonica.
The first Chinese sheng, imported to Europe in the 18th century, formed the basis for both the harmonica and the short-lived symphonium, in which buttons channeled air from a single mouth hole to the appropriate reeds. The types of sheng that are now in use are the result of modifications made since the early twentieth century that improved its tone and loudness while broadening its range.
