Jaw Harp played by Richard Tipping

Australian poet Richard Tipping plays two tunes on jaw harp: Waltzing Matilda (the national song of Australia) and a Scottish jig to dance to. Recorded as a part of his poetry performances in Germany in 1985, including the city of Wuppertal and its famous university.
The jaw harp has a history as old and mysterious as the flute and the drum, appearing in many different places, made of many materials, but with a distinctive sound.
The jaw harp is sometimes called the jews harp - an English mishearing of the Scottish saying jaw harp back in the eighteenth century, according to a dictionary of musicology.

Baz Lurhmann should have used some of this to help lame up his score for Australia like he did with the wobbleboard.

His poems and fence building skills are amazing too.
