The narrow end of the frame is held loosely between the teeth so that the lamella can swing freely and is plucked with a finger, causing it to vibrate in the player's mouth, which thereby becomes a resonator. Depending on the position of tongue, lips, and cheeks, one or another harmonic can be emphasized.
