Jewel in Wooden Case 11.5 x 2.8 cm Metal Jew's Harp with Pouch and Cleaning Cloth Silver Folk Musical Instrument for Beginners

The Jew's harp, also known as a jaw harp or mouth harp, is one of the oldest folk musical instruments and its sound has a distinctive, raw, and ancient character. This metal Jew's harp has compact dimensions of 11.5 x 2.8 x 1.8 cm, making it easy to fit into a pocket, backpack, or small handbag. The instrument is made of metal and features a smooth and sturdy frame. The Jew's harp comes with a shaped wooden case for comfortable storage, as well as a cloth pouch with a drawstring and a cleaning cloth. It is suitable for beginners, children, and adults who wish to explore the sound of traditional folk music.

The Jew's harp is played by placing it against slightly open lips and plucking the flexible tongue with a finger. The pitch and tone colour change with breath, tongue movement, and the shape of the oral cavity, allowing a wide range of rhythmic and melodic sounds to be produced from a single instrument. At the end of the tongue is a trigger with a string and a yellow bead, making it easy to hold the instrument. The frame consists of two arms connected at the bottom by two screws. The instrument is suitable for accompanying folk songs, improvisation, rhythmic exercises, and as an interesting addition to a music collection.
