The.human.harp


The "Mouth harp", the "Jaw Harp" or even the "Jew harp" is considered very chic for some reason, very risky, that is, experimental musicians seem to dig it a lot.

Here are a few examples, I personally think that it could be used in more varied ways, after all, its metalic-springy tone is fairly recognizable and
couldn't possibly be mistaken for any other instrument.

Meredith Monk - "Jew's harp"
Old Time Relijun - "Khomuz"
Buffy Sainte-Marie - "Cripple Creek"
