Mouth organ (Southeast Asia)
Blench states that the mouth organ had spread from China to Persia "by the 6th century AD", and that "The instrument is depicted in several illustrations from that period, but seems not to have entered the mainstream of Persian music", adding that "A mouth-organ is depicted on a Persian vase from the 10th or 11th century is [sic] together with a shawm (Gazette archéologique, tome xi., 1886)".
