Norwegian jews harp - Norsk Munnharpe 2

In Norway we play mouth harp/jews harp melodic, as a solo instrument.
The pictures in this video are of Norwegian hand made mouth harps made by Stein-Terje Mathiesen, Reidar Ottesen, Knut Tveit, Leif Arne Bakke and Einar Turtum.

This is a Norwegian mouth harp song called "Skuldalsbruri på tur", played by mouth harp player Hallgrim Berg, who is pictured at the end of the video.

WHERE I CAN BUY THIS ?

@calimera7777

Google "Bjørgulv Straume", and you'll find a good mouth harp-makers home page.

You'll find his contact info, just send him an email and ask if he can mail it to you :)

How beautiful is that? I amped it up and it sounds like some weird post dubstep mash.

Great; I'd rush out and buy one but you can only buy cheap stamped ones in Oxford, and I suspect they wouldn't sound the same. Or maybe the player is the important thing.

@sitwosaints Haha, yes, it does sound a little dubstep-ish at times :p

Most cheap harps tend to have a really soft and undistinct sound to them, so they usually sound a bit muffled/weak compared to more expensive ones.

Google "szilagyi jewsharp" to find a great website that sells epic mouth harps at nice prices. I've bought 3 from this website, and all of them were really good with a great tone!

I think they cost average of 25-40 EURO, which is a good deal for instruments of this quality :)

Yes there are jews in Norway, but jews have no relevance to the instrument.

But is it called Jaw Harp? "Jaw" would make a lot more sense.
