@xGirsWafflex I don't sell any jews harps myself, but I know where you could order different models of jews harps online.
I just need to know a little more specific what you're looking for, like what pitch you want on your harp, do you have any experience on playing the jews harp and how much are you willing to pay?
You can find many different models of jews harps at sites like Ebay etc, but most of these (especially cheap harps) are not really fit for melodic play, due to their poor harmonics.
@AleXzorZ i kinda like the tone that this guys is playing and yes i have a jaw harp that i got at a viking festival i think it was hand made and it had kinda a low baritone sound i think its norweigean im not the best but i can play fairly good if i do say so myself... i want another one because the tounge of my other one snapped from me playing fast beats, id like a nice one ranging from like 50$ and under
@xGirsWafflex Oops, thought I already answered this comment :p
I would recommend you to take a look at Zoltan Szilagyis website (just google his name), he sells quite a wide range of harps, with different tunings etc :) The prices are nice too :)
@AleXzorZ Munnharpa = Mouth Harp... pretty easy translation AND as Scandinavian countries are the more superior countries in the world, it is nice to have things their way for a change.
hello, i notice all the other comments are not in english but i will commment nonetheless. first of all, this is fantastic. this is really really amazing. and secondly, do you know what note most mouth harps are tuned to? i cant find out anywhere...
Thank you for appreciating the norwegian mouth harp :)
The most common tuning, I suppose, is G.
The tuning of the harp depends on what style of playing you're doing, like if you're going to play a song in the style of the dance "gangar" or "halling", people usually use harps in the range from F to G#.
People who play "springar" usually like using harps from around G to high C, and sometimes even high D.
Denne slåtten går 6/8-takt. Det spelemannen gjør er at hele tiden bytter om på betoningen i takten. Når man vanligvis betoner 1 og 4 i takten. Istedenfor å gjøre dette så betoner han f.eks: EN to tre fir FEM seks. Og han varier over dette for å så bytte direkte over i 2/4-takt og tilbake. Dette er avansert rytmebruk typisk for folkemusikk. Se på andre bølge av Folklorisme innen klassisk musikk. Se hva Stravinsky og Bartok gjør. Dette er mye av det samme.
De fleste låter blir jo til ved "improvisasjon" :P
Men vil forresten føye til at taktene ikke er "urytmiske" pga dårlige musikalske ferdigheter, slik masto82 muligens har oppfatning av, men fordi forskjellige distrikter rett og slett har forskjellige asymmetriske takter (altså ikke 2/4-takt osv). Valdresspringar, Setesdalsgangar, Hallingspringar osv
dritbra! digger den urytmiske takten i norsk folkemusikk! det beviser at masse av musikken ble laget spontant, av arbeidsfolk i hverdagslige sammenhenger, så vel som til fest! facinerer meg dypt inn i hjertet!!
Ville ikke kalt takten "urytmisk", men asymmetrisk, men jeg skjønner hva du mener:P Sjekk ut "Munnharpas Verden" av Svein Westad for flere fete munnharpeslåtter og heftige takter ;)
Av en eller anna grunn kalles det oftest jews harp på engelsk. Ikke veit jeg hvorfor, jeg har ikke sett eller hørt noen link mellom jøder og munnharpe :P

Ikke akkurat urytmisk. Men progressivt.
Jeg og synes det er skikkelig digg.
Jeg klikket tommel ned for din kommentar, var ikke meningen, skulle egentlig klikke tommel opp.
