Overview
Double Jew's Harp with Two Tongues 13 x 5.25 cm Metal Mouth Harp with Round Head Folk Instrument for Beginners

The double Jew's harp features two tongues on a single frame, offering more options than a classic Jew's harp with one tongue. Measuring 13 x 5.25 cm, it fits comfortably in the hand and easily fits into a backpack or case. The frame consists of a flat round head from which three arms extend, and between them, two flexible tongues with bent tips vibrate. The Jew's harp, also known as a drumbla or mouth harp, is one of the traditional folk instruments. The sound is produced by the vibration of the tongues, while the player's mouth acts as a variable resonator.

No sheet music or musical training is required to play. The arms are lightly placed against slightly open teeth, the lips are relaxed, and the finger plucks the bent ends of the tongues. The tongues can be plucked alternately, allowing for more varied rhythmic patterns. The pitch and tone colour are influenced by the position of the tongue, the shape of the mouth, and the breath. Each tongue is attached to the head of the frame with two screws.

The Jew's harp is prevalent in the folk music of many countries and is used in throat singing, ethnic music, and during meditation. The two tongues on a single frame allow for alternating strikes, speeding up the rhythm, and creating a denser soundscape than a Jew's harp with one tongue. With regular practice, you will learn to emphasise individual harmonic tones and create your own rhythmic patterns. The vibrating sound complements singing, guitar, or drums well. The longer arms of the frame are comfortably held between the fingers, keeping the instrument stable even during faster playing.

  • Type of instrument – double Jew's harp (drumbla, mouth harp)
  • Number of tongues – 2
  • Dimensions – 13 x 5.25 cm
  • Material – metal
  • Frame shape – flat round head with three arms
  • Playing method – plucking with a finger on the bent tips of the tongues
  • Usage – folk and ethnic music, throat singing, relaxation
  • Contents of the package – 1 double Jew's harp

Start with gentle plucking on one tongue and only then try alternating both. Just lightly rest the frame against your teeth and do not grip it tightly, allowing the tongues to vibrate freely. After playing, wipe the instrument with a dry cloth and store it in a way that prevents the tongues from bending. The double Jew's harp is suitable for musical gatherings, campfires, travel, and quiet moments at home.

The double Jew's harp is an interesting choice for beginners who want more sound options, as well as for players who are already familiar with the classic Jew's harp. It is suitable for playing for enjoyment, for relaxation, for throat singing, or as an accompaniment to guitar or drums. You will quickly grasp the basics of playing, and with practice, you will discover further nuances of sound. The metal frame with three arms holds both tongues securely in place.
