Aaron really sounding like a new member of Code Orange in the death metal segment; with the way he hold the harp, he could use a harmonica mic and maybe use a pedal or two to recreate the distortions, and maybe use a pitch shifter for whammy squeals or just getting different notes.

    Believe it or not, there’s even classical music that features the mouth harp. Around 1765, Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, one of Beethoven’s teachers, composed no fewer than 7 concerti for mouth harp and string ensemble… they’re remarkable and quirky pieces of music that explore the melodic possibilities of the instrument more than rhythm. Some of the recordings can be found on RUclips.

    Love to see these two having fun together. This is going to cause huge sales in mouth harps! Like Jaws said, one of the oldest instruments but not very common these days. When I read the comments here, it looks like people just don't seem to know about this instrument. I've been playing for a few months and have to conclude that there isn't much on RUclips about this instrument.
    Jaw's instructions in the beginning are super clear and to the point, but I didn't noticed him mentioning to put LITTLE pressure on the harp when you're holding it between your thumb and index finger. The little 'tongue' that's triggered needs to vibrate freely. I find the constant low pressure to be the hardest part of playing the mouth harp. It buzzes quite often.
    Check out Mongolian / Turkic folk music for some amazing harp techniques.
    This is a relatively cheap instrument, for us Europeans: Thomann has a few great ones go for it!

    This is great! I became obsessed with the jaw harp a few years ago, and now I own well over 100 harps from around the world.
    This instrument crosses cultures so easily because most every culture has a mouth harp. I have met amazing people because of this!

    As of today, and only owning one of these instruments for less than a week (and making progress each day with it as a 20-year musician), I'm sorry to say that I am Harp-Broken. Yes. I carried my jaw-harp around with me in my pocket, and when I got home from work tonight, I found the flicker-part broken off!! Sad sad loss. I might do some soldering or welding about it if I can. My girlfriend bought this thing for me, I'm trying to keep it going. I played it even though it's broken when I saw that I could speak Vowels into it. THANK YOU!!

    Try the Tagelharpa. It's a really old Scandinavian bowed lyer. Tagel means horse hair, so its called horse hair harp because the strings are made from twisted horses hair.
    The not Historically accurate bass version founds mesmerising. I think it would be perfect for a metal with instruments that are not metal series.

    In Germany we call this thing "Maultrommel", which roughly translates to "mouth-drum", with "Maul" being a (kind of) insulting form of mouth. We rather use "Maul" as a description of an animals mouth. Thought this would be interesting.
