На видео - звучание комуса Поткина и вид местности, откуда этот чудный инструмент происходит - территория Республики Алтай и Монгольского Алтая.

The variant of Jew's Harp presented here is called the Khomus. This is a traditional music instrument of folks of Yakutiya and Altay (the territory of Russia). It is an essential part of natives' festivals and is often used in religious rites of Altay's shamans, i.e. pagan (shamans) priests. The Altay shamans use Khomus for trance achievement.
