Gogona

Gogona

The "gogona" is a type of Jew's harp, a vibrating reed instrument that is used primarily in the traditional Bihu music in Assam.

It is made of a piece of bamboo/horn that has a bifurcation on one end. The solid end is gripped with the teeth and the free ends are then struck repeatedly with the fingers to emit the distinctive sound of the "gogona".
