Mru people (Chittagong Hill Tracts); Described by Löffler as a "wind instrument […] of various types, all consisting of a number of pipes inserted in two rows into a gourd bottle"; A drawing shows an instrument with 5 pipes (one set of 2 and one of 3); He adds that (a) "there is a special type that can be played as a solo instrument at any time, and another type that is particularly used for weddings, but the playing of mouth organs in an orchestra is allowed only at cattle ceremonies", (b) that the latter instruments "distinguish themselves from the other types by having bamboo tubes serving as bourdons placed over the tops of their pipes and by varying in size", and (c) that […] "some of these instruments have tiny pipes only a few centimeters long, others have large pipes several meters in length [!], which are so heavy that they must be carried in a shawl hung over the shoulder"; He also states that the mouth organs "vielleicht alle Jahre nur einmal benutzt werden" [i.e. "are perhaps used only once a year"; ws], but fails to reveal the reason why he draws that conclusion (unless that statement only refers to instruments played in an orchestra [➺ above]); According to Blench, "Bangla Desh [is] dominated by Indo-Aryan speakers for whom the mouth-organ is extremely alien. However, along the border with Myanmar live Sino-Tibetan minorities, who play mouth-organs in very large ensembles".
