In British English the name of this instrument is Jew's harp (old English name is trump). In the States it is also called jaw harp or mouth harp (not mouth's harp). As far as I know Jewish people traded this instrument in the 11-12th century in England, thats why English believed it was a Jewish harp. But Jew's harp has no tradition in Jewish music culture.

For me linguistic aspects are way less important than the meaning behind the words: this great musical instrument, call it whatever...

this is a romanian song about goat :))

Ta, ta, ta, caprita, ta,

Te-am adus din Africa,

Te-am adus cu avionu

Te-am hranit cu biberonu.

actually the Hungarian minority, the "Csango" people in Moldva, Romania know this song as "Kecskés" or goat dance. So that region is a big melting pot of cultures: Romanians, Hungarians, Gypsies, Jewish - Thats why we like their music so much... Same melodies in different cultures.

Can people stop using the word "Jew's harp" ? These instruments are native to many parts of the world. The "mouth's harp" with the nationality attached to it is more accurate.

@dzsumbicsaj Csak egyszerűen egy rövid "trrrrrrr" hangot perget le a nyelvévél 2 pengetés között! ;)

theres a sound you made that ive only heard a few others make and have wanted to now for the longest time how to do it. you only did it a few times in this video. It sounds like your rolling your tongue or something. its rapid fire like a machine gun. Is that sound only possible on super high end harps? i can only get a hold pretty low quality. my first was one of those damn snoopys. utter crap.

[dzsumbicsaj]

olyan, mintha csak magad felé pengetnéd az elején: Jól látom? És az a hang 0:29-nél megfejthetetlen... Vajon hogy csinálod?! Gratulálok!
