He taonga puoro iti te pūtangitangi, ka kapua ki te ringa, ka puhia hei whakaputa i tōna reo. He maha ngā puare iti kei te waha o te pūtangitangi, ina puhia te hau ki roto i tētahi, ka tōiriiri te tohetohe e noho mai ana ki muri, ka puta te oro i reira (RTP 2015:87). / A harmonica is a small hand-held musical instrument which is blown to produce its sounds. It has a number of small openings along the mouthpiece, and when air is blown into them, a reed sitting in behind vibrates, producing the sound (RTP 2015:87).
