Jaw Harp
Jaw harp is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world with pocket
size. Its rhythmic possibilities are endless and ability to change timbre in
extreme, unusual ways are spectacular. Pure melodic playing with distinct
overtones is possible too. It is easy to play and does not require musical
training. To produce first sound, two frame ends must be hardly pressed to
upper and lower teeth - not to lips - with left hand. Right index finger will
be stroke reed elbow at direction, perpendicular to frame plane, inward and
outward. The frame must not be squeezed with lips, teeth and hand!

Juice harp, mouth harp, ozark harp, trump, jew's trump are obsolete or wrong
names of the jaw harp (US) or jew's harp (UK). This name has nothing common
with the Jewish people. Other names in various regions of the world are:
vargan, khomus, guimbarde, maultrommel, scacciapensieri, marranzano, arpa de
boca, munnharpe, kubyz, dan moi, mondharp, temir-komuz, morsing, morchang,

Defects
We guarantee that shipped instrument will be free of any defects and will play
as intended by its maker. But any good instruments requires proper handling -
many owners of souvenir toys looking like jaw harp, with huge gaps and
primitive sound, are used to squeeze it hardly with hand, teeth or lips. These
toys even plays louder when squeezed - and such habit arises unconsciously. If
your new, real jew's harp produces metallic clangs: 1) remove lips from the
frame; 2) reduce force of pressing it to teeth; 3) do not squeeze frame in
vertical direction with fingers; 4) strike with 90 degree direction to the
frame plane - without up, down, left or right offset.
But if you just don't like item received without any reason - we will make
refund or replacement (excluding shipping cost). Our policy: Each instrument
sold must play, not gather dust on the shelf!
