It is a small plastic piece inserted in the mouth and played by pressing it between the lower teeth and gums dance tunes. The Técső Band plays often in Hungary and has participated in festivals such as the Sziget Festival, Mediawave, Kapolcs Arts Festival, National Dance House Festival and the Seven Towers Festival. At our concerts one can hear traditional wedding music and dance music played for other holiday occaisions.
