Any OG who can teach me how to play the Ncas? Not sure if the younger generation here even knows what a Ncas is?
-
If no OG, see if you can translate this White guy's instructions on how to play. If not, search on YouTube for other instructional videos, good luck:

hey bro
glad you taken interest in learning about the hmong culture
a lot of these hmong instruments are like hmong kwv txhiaj
1. ncas
2. flute
3. qeej (a lot of death note, but still kinda like kwv txhiaj)
4. xim xos
you are trying to fantasy and tell a stories when you play
there are lyrics but alot of it can be alter and make up as you go and how your heart feel like
for you NCAS
i probaby do something like this
"girl, you are a orphan. got no place to go, no place to be, i know you just want to die off and be with your parent,
but your boy here, is trying to find a wife, maybe if i can get you to be mine, i will be sooo happy"
-
here is a really good example of the xim xos
alot of it is just kwv txhiaj (hmong green and white)
just listen to kwv txhiaj and start singing that first
alot of the player are also really good kwv txhiaj singer O0

i play the ncas a little bit, bro
just a few tips
don't blow, like blowing a ballon
just breath normal, kinda like when you trying to breath into your eyeglass and get some water vapor on it so you can wipe it off
LOL
as for your song lyrics
you can just make it up
i like to sing about "about girl lying to me, breaking my heart, and i come to bridenapping and making them my wife and stuff" O0
kinda like RAP MUSIC, you know
just making up fantasy stuff

Yea bro
Don’t blow into it
Put it closed into your mouth, Just breath normal
Kinda like breathing mist into a mirror, so you can wipe the mist vapor off
For the song
Just folo any good kwv txhaij song that
You like and memorize
Try to breath the song without the words coming out and strike it
