This is a phone card Jew's harp made of hard paper , that is why it can't make any reverberation (only with metal jew's harp you can create reverb). The musician made himself this instrument . It is like a toy and it costs nothing

I think it sounds quite good and would like to try making one myself.

I really think that is very creative and I am wondering if there are instructions available to make one?

I like your friends playing =D And the sound of his harp but it seems a bit limiting in all that can be played. The throw of the tongue isn't proportioned enough for a long reverb, I'm no expert though. At any note it's still really neat to find music in everyday things. For all the days

Excellent demonstration of phone card Jew's harp . Very clever idea !
