The kubing is a member for the "trump" family or as it is more commonly referred to as a "Jew's Harp" (Sorry, but I don't subscribe to the new PC term "jaw harp" as I have a lot of Jewish friends as simply can't imagine why "Jew's Harp" could possibly be construed as offensive). Unlike other Jew's harps, the kubling is made from bamboo and has been decorated with rather intricate carvings. As a result, it has mellower sound and is, therefore, a more subtle instrument.
