How to play
Anyone is able to learn playing vargan in several minutes. You can acquire your own original manner after 2-3 weeks of regular training.
You should pick out an instrument with a sound you like most. Ask a seller to try playing different models and choose vibrations you prefer. Press the frame to your teeth leaving a chink between teeth for the instrument's tongue. Draw the tongue off by the finger. Set free the tongue. Sounds arise at the expense of resonance circuit in the mouth, head bones, larynx. The instrument doesn't sound by itself. We can get different timbres by changing the volume of resonance circuit. Subsequent stages of learning let us use all respiratory tract and diaphragm. There is a fine technique of playing when the shaman vibrates by his own lungs. Nobody can instruct – this technique comes by itself. Shaman energetic techniques and practice are based on the following – the bones of cranium are a natural resonator and the sound is able to spread on any trajectory. Jew’s harp playing is like mantra singing. An interesting effect can be attained if mute inner mantra is imposed upon Jew’s harp sounds. The mantra modulates the hard vibrations of vargan somehow.
