Sure dude, I've been playing the jaw harp for a few years now. It can be played like a boingy thing, or like a didgeridoo. You can get sort of Goa Trance synth noises out of it too.

You can even ones tuned to a note these days.

It's an awesome instrument... I love it.

You crack me up, 17th.
Here you go: Sumer is icumen in (sheet music--PDF)
Here's the MIDI so you can play along.
You can find other Medieval sheet music and MIDI's here.

Have fun!

My apologies for posting the wrong song above. (Sumer is icumen in.)
It is still an interesting medieval piece.

Hi--just saw the conversation regarding the Jew's harp. (For a long time, I thought it was called a "juice harp" too. I thought it sounded messy.)

Anyway, I've had one for years, but it just kinda sits there amidst my collection of strange and wonderful stringed and wooden and brass things that makes people ask, "What's that?"

I can't play it. I really picked it up so I could get one of the kids I teach to use it in a song, but then I realized by trial and error that it can be very hard on one's teeth.

Just thought I'd post a word of warning! Be careful, ya hear?

InPeace,
InLove

Regarding the name.. I think it is odd that it isn't used by Jews, and it isn't a harp..........

Careful is my middle name... Well kinda middle, comes after non.
