Comment
fr Annonce de j. Dournes qui explique que lorsque l'air joué est un air typiquement jörai et non bahnar, la vièle köni est jouée seule (et non en ensemble vièle köni-cithare ddông). VIELE: vièle monocorde köni. Jouer la vièle monocorde köni implique que le musicien produit aussi des sons avec sa voix, une corde attachée à celle de l’instrument est tenue avec sa bouche. Il fredonne les dents serrées.
en Vocal introduction by J. Dournes explaining that when the tune played is a typically Jörai one rather than Bahnar, the köni fiddle is played solo (and not as part of the köni fiddle–ddông zither ensemble). Fiddle: monochord fiddle köni. Playing the monochord fiddle köni requires that the musician also produces sounds with his voice: a separate string is attached to the string of the instrument and held by his mouth. He hums through gritted teeth.
