Not with a jaw harp in your pocket!

🙏🏻🎶🎵🤙🏻

Hear hear!

Ich kann es kaum erwarten zu sehen, was du mit ihnen machst! Gefällt Ihnen die Notiz des Flux? Wenn es Ihrem Surge zu ähnlich ist, kann ich den Ton immer noch erhöhen. Ansonsten werde ich es heute versenden!

@@BoxcarBetts kann gerne so bleiben 👍😉

100%. Anthropologically speaking (holy crap I spelled that right the first time), all music stems from the most primitive of musical instruments: the voice, and the tendency to create rhythm based on - you guessed it - the heart beat. Music is in all of us and can be brought out in limitless ways. Right after humming, the next thing we did was start tapping twigs and rocks together.

🤣🤣🤣 Wenn es nur IMMER so wäre!

Thanks! I feel like I “unlocked” this harp. 🎶🤙🏻🎵

Nope. Don’t recommend!

Thanks! 🎵🤙🏻🎶

My 8yo son has ADHD and loves playing! He picked it up really quickly too. I make them, fyi. boxcarharpcompany.etsy.com

In English, jew’s harp, mouth harp, and jaw harp are the most common terms, but there are also regional terms depending on where in the world it is from. This one is a drymba from Ukraine whereas it would be known as a vargan in most of Russia and khomus from Siberia.

Thanks! I’d be thrilled to make one for you! DM me at my Etsy store! boxcarharpcompany.etsy.com

Absolutely. I was also impressed to see the stringed instruments he makes and plays. It’s really cool seeing the other talents of people.

​@@BoxcarBettsязычковый,а не струнный

@@Диман_Варган Shaun Jones makes stringed instruments in addition to his jaw harps. I do not remember the name of his stringed instruments. But yes! His jaw harps with the reeds are fantastic tools!

So I do have some plans to start making tutorials in the future and this one got me thinking about about focusing on rhythms and approaching it like a drummer. The triplet is an easy thing to get down if you understand it, so I’ll actually go over some music theory with my practice pad so people can see how it counts out. It adds a cool swing without having to get into weird-ass time signatures.

@@BoxcarBetts that sounds awesome to me! I’d definitely tune in for that.

Thanks Pat! I really started developkng my style on these two Lebbetts. I don’t know much about him. Do you have info? I’d love to see your brass one.

Thanks Brian!

They really are. This is my first of his and I love it so much. This one doesn’t feel right played outwards and the sound is slight fuzzy/dull, compared to inwards. It feels much more solid inwards and I asked Shaun if he would recommend outward play and he said he wouldn’t (he doesn’t recommend for ANY harp, but admits certain harps he will play that way). This one, just due to the shape of the trigger, I don’t want to risk it. On my harps, I intend for them to be played that way, so to answer your question finally, yes! I love rapid in-out plucking, but on this harp it doesn’t feel right and so I do focus more on breathing techniques with this one! Haha as for the album, believe it or not, my band actually has 2 we self released on Spotify. Now, it’s mostly stuff we’d written and played since high school, but there are some songs where I experimented with a shitty old Snoopy harp before it broke. That’s what started me down this whole jaw harp rabbit hole to begin with! We plan to do more, particularly incorporating more harp. But if you want some metal/prog/blues/jazz/rock/indie, this might scratch your itch for now. Hahah open.spotify.com/artist/5UVXsaBkf8wtWzjNYQSfeb?si=RKpfsZupT1WXWjOqGpP72g

Yes, they really do! This was my first harp.

Thanks! Subscribe for more band shirts including one with the “Hot Rats” album cover and one from a Dweezil concert, oddly enough where he played Hot Rats. Hahaha

I’m hoping the latest batch comes out even BETTER!

Thank you fine sir!

My equipment is pretty old. V-Drums are TD-12s and I use 1/4” patch cords for LR channels into a Tascam audio interface (US-144 or something). The interface is then USB into my laptop and I’m using an old version of Cubase to record. But for the phone/camera, I have a small Joyo audio interface that I plug a 1/4” patch cord into and then USB/Lightning into my iphone.

@@BoxcarBetts appreciate you brother

@@lil_siamese714 anytime bud!

Thanks man! 🤙🏻🎵🎶

*Canadiana 🤣 Can-Americana? North Americana… … it definitely twangs! 🎶🎵🤙🏻🇨🇦🇺🇸

@@BoxcarBetts let’s go with North-Americana I like that! 😂. Keep it up, lovin the sound!!!

@@dualsportPNW Thanks! I definitely will. They’re fun to make!

😁🎵🎶🇨🇦🇩🇪

Lots of little details to be aware of too.

Thanks man! It’s a great harp.

Me too! Here’s the website, although I actually got mine through a Mongolian tourist website sold under a different name (long story). jews-harps.com/product/jews-harp-warrior/

Thanks! It’s been a while since using this harp so my playing style had changed a bit. I need to be very aware of how stiff the reed is compared to others I’ve been playing lately or else I tend to snag my finger on it. Every harp plays differently so it’s always a good practice to start slow and feel the harp out first.

Is your Warrior in the same note?

@@BoxcarBetts most likely

It’s the one I “cut my teeth on,” so to speak! The first proper harp I bought that started it all.

Everything is better around a campfire!

@@BoxcarBetts agreed!

Thanks man!

Yes. This Jaw Harp is one of the best without any doubt!

@@UJ00UJ It’s a solid one!

Thank you! I really thought so too!

I thought I’d need more space, to be honest. But having a dedicated workbench sure is nice. Just have to keep moving the car in and out. Haha

It does. I love this harp when the mood strikes me.

Thanks Pat! Part 2 coming out tomorrow.

🤣 I dunno… this specimen deserves to be preserved!

Thanks Jeremy! I’ll be starting another batch this weekend too.

@@BoxcarBettsI look forward to when I’m able to get back on the list.
