How are we supposed to know what you do with your personal time?

[OtherSisster]

@checkeraka47

You can inhale and exhale to make different notes. It's not required.

[R0ASTEDPANDA]

its worth more oney now that hes played it

[RoyalRanger136]

Being a Jews harp player my self... I can safely say he is not playing it correctly... poor old man.

[WCdragoninja]

@RoyalRanger136

I just started playing and am still learning. How's he playing it wrong?

[RoyalRanger136]

@WCdragoninja Well it depends on the type of harp, the kind he has is made for playing on teeth, he is playing on his lips, producing a much lower sound quality and a volume. And the second thing is not necessarily wrong but shows he is not an expert is to play faster and slightly modified tunes you can twang the twangier both directions, inward and outward.

Gay...

[lucius215]

i didnt like the way he said JEW"S HARP in the beginning.

[rollingparkinglot]

So what would youuu grab off a nail in yer cabin? Man, I never could play that thing. So you let it vibrate on your teeth and open tour throat? I got the throat part, but I never could get the metal bars to resonate...or is it the reed that hits your teeth? It came with a little pamphlet that said 'genuine Ozark mouth harp' or something to this effect. So how dooo you do it?

[1337Elite2]

@paulj0557 Change the shape of your mouth to change the pitch. You could also use your tounge and throat to do it.

[Wolfspiderxl]

A very versatile instrument, like the harmonica, only much older in origin

[NickDenning3]

Why do people call them Jew's Harp? Cause they look cheap?

I mean no offence, its just a question

[AlexIsonSanders]

Haha!!!

[admir2323]

:D its all good

[Dluna07]

is it supposed the frame supposed to vibrate on your teeth?

[Vocet57]

On your teeth or on your lips (the teeth get damaged after long time playing, and it sounds almost the same on your lips..)

[AleXzorZ]

I know many professional mouth harp players (yes, there are professional mouth harp players, check my videos) have asked their dentists regarding this, and they always get the same answer: No, the mouth harp does not harm your teeth!

If the mouth harp-tongue keep hitting your teeth, you're probably playing a lousy cheap harp, or you're doing it wrong.

Also, playing on the lips instead of the teeth "mutes" the harp, like when you touch a guitar string.

[LeGrandGoblin]
