The Jaw Harp consists of a flexible metal or bamboo tongue attached to a frame. This tongue is placed in the performer’s mouth and plucked with the finger to produce a note. The pitch of the note can be changed by changing the shape of the mouth.
The origin of the jaw harp is not clear and it may have been developed independently all over the globe. There is a Chinese drawing from 4th century BC of this instrument. The Jaw harp is found all over Europe, Asia Russia and the Pacific. Its origin in India is not very clear though many myths and stories prevail. In India it is found mainly in South India, Rajasthan and also in some parts of Assam. The jaw harp in Vietnam is called Danmoi and other names include the Jew's harp, jaw harp, mouth harp, Ozark harp, trump, morsing, morchang, or juice harp.

Great Whistle and Super Fast Shipping
This whistle has a beautiful, warm tone and is very responsive. I have used a variety of whistles (including other Kerry whistles), and this one is my favorite to play. While recording my latest album, I needed a whistle in this key pretty quickly, and Lark in the Morning had this delivered to me within a few days. I highly recommend this instrument, and Lark in the Morning is a fantastic place to purchase from with excellent customer service.

Awesome instrument
I already play a mountain lap dulcimer, but this one gives the instrument a whole different dimension to playing. Really beautiful craftsmanship. Thus isn’t a toy, but a lovely wooden instrument. Very easy to play!

Plays like a dream
Plays like a dream. I have MS and am no longer able to play guitar, but this uke let's me play songs again and sing. I had no idea how much I'd missed having music in my body. Thanks, Lark!
