Yo the thing that you have to strike while playing touches my lips so should i try to not let them touch or is it ok and the vibration on my teeth us also a lot what should i do to reduce it
These things are just so damn fun to hear and play! If I loose my teeth in the process, so what, It'll give it even more harmonics. Kidding. Thanks for the tutorials, brother.
jason judge Thank you. I like to share so that you can share with others as well . As ya'll get better and you start making videos I can learn from you as well. Collective learning.
I like your theory about mouth harps but the practical parts are always only a few seconds long. Is there a video of you, where you play a complete piece? I would love to hear a complete 3 minute thing or so.
Youve given me some great tips on how to improve my J Harping. I have the same one that you travel with, as well as the glazyrin model. Very different sounds. I like the travel model better, as it grants more tone along with the reed vibrations. Would love to see some more videos like this one, maybe some different styles.
The sound of THAT jaw harp definitely is one of the very best i have heard so far!! i would like to get one eventually.... Back to beginning when i first subscribed to your channel and started seeing for the first time your lessons, i said i have my jaw harp wedged between my teeth, not against them, you asked me which harp it was- it is Maultrommel harp, which i still use, because it is the only one i have so far....Anyway, thank you for your videos and the way you explain things it makes it fun to watch. Jaw harps and their almost " mystical" powers are certainly fascinating! It is just that a person progresses very slow trying to get somewhere....
Got my first jews harp in the mail from Russia today. I was a bit worried because of war going on in Ukraine but then I thought, these people are just like you and I, trying to earn a living and make the best lives for their children. If you don’t hear back from me, the KGB took me out y’all! God bless America and God bless those that are doing the best for themselves and their family. 😊
Thank you for your amazing videos, one thing i still struggle with is the breathing rythm, could you please do a video where you show the various breathing rythm first without playing and then show how they affect melodies and their rythm?
Your videos are awesome dude. Always been fascinated by jaw harps since I was a kid but never actually got my hands (or jaw) on one. Your videos have definitely helped me more than others. What would you say is your “favourite” jaw harp?
Hi thanks for your channel I want two harps as I have two kids. I want them to play duo and duels. You have any thoughts on a choice of beginners harps that would sound well together. Different keys I want to buy: "Lighthouse" Vargan (some say it is F# /1?) you did recommend already and "Standard" Kubyz Tatar (G#/2) . I wonder if it will play well F# with G#. Is there any rule for playing two harps?
Anybody watching this and getting discouraged because you can’t get it down, he’s been play for 2+ years and and may have just started. Don’t get upset keep playing and you’ll get there!
Also keep in mind if it is a snoopy harp, first note harp, hillbilly jaw harp, or trophy music harp, it will not make sound. Many people quit the jaw harp after mistakenly buying one of these defective variants off Amazon or at music shops. Happy harping.
@@bebbcorpharpery7331 yeah I got a snoopy harp for my birthday and it was really bad, but instead I paid 40 bucks for a Russian mauro vargan harp (sorry if I messed up the name)
Awesome. At least the snoopy is bringing people to the harp. My first harp was a similar one. May every step of your jaw harp journey be as exciting and unexpected as the next. Harp on.
Is there a place to get a good quality jews harp? I just bought a "cheap" one from Amazon, but the flexible reed is not in line with the frame. I guess it came off the assembly line too fast, without inspection.
No note in particular as it is untuned. It is a rainbow from The Harpery. It will be back in stock within a week. It is at this link, www.theharpery.com/glazyrin/v369qtjp0j0n51n2prcvo1fdssxcsa
To find more go to my RUclips page, “Bebbcorp Harpery,” and click playlists. Click the how to play the Jaw harp, and also advanced Jaw harp technique.” Also there are nearly 600 videos on the page. Enjoy.🙂
What kind of harp is that? I know it's tuned to B flat. Is a jaw harp something you can take on a trip? Because i want a jaw harp really badly, & i need entertainment for a 48 hour drive to Saskatchewan this summer. Would it drive my other family members crazy? Cause i might get one & i want to take it with me on the trip if i get one.
Some of them are available through my store. The Harpery on FB. Shoot me a message. I don’t normally use my RUclips to sell harps as that is not the primary goal of my channel and I don’t use other websites as now I buy all my harps from the makers for my store.
I do sell harps and I will not link to amazon, nor do I recommend buying off of amazon. Amazons prices are the same as the prices that I sell them for and their shipping on most harps is much slower.
Are you playing a snoopy harp, bluegrass harp, hillbilly harp, first note jaw harp or commonly found variants? These harps will make no noise being defective by design. Check out the harps at theharpery.com
Sure can. The jaw harp isn't an instrument that needs to be regularly tuned, like a guitar for instance, that has strings constantly stretching and going out of tune. Harps are tuned by the maker when they are made and this is a big subject with lots of factors that will affect the tuning and sound of a harp. Some of the factors would be the profile and how the reed is ground. The angles of the embouchure and as well as the gaps between the embouchure and reed. The next would be the length of the reed relative to the stiffness and width of the reed. A longer reed has further travel when it vibrates and so as the reed is shortened it vibrates faster. The stiffness and width of the reed also comes into play. The narrower the reed is made the lower the tone will be. if the reed is wider it is a thicker spring and exerts more force causing the reed to vibrate quicker and at a higher. Also the the harder the reed the faster it vibrates bringing the tone up. Also how the trigger is bent affects the tuning. The further angle the trigger is moved out, the lower the tone. This is because it has more leverage and slows down the reed and lowers the tone. The more the trigger angle is bent in the higher the tone will become as leverage against the reed decreases and the reed vibrates faster and the tone comes up. Some makers tune with reed length and how the trigger is done. Others may put small bits of solder on their triggers to lower the tone and file off solder to raise it to hit the sound they want. Others file small amounts off the reed to tune it. Some may wrap wire around the trigger or add magnets to weight the trigger down and drop the tone. The removable magnet method creates a harp with two sounds. One lower while the harp is played with the magnet on, and a higher tone once the magnet is removed. Hopefully this helps and if vibeforge sees this comment he probably will comment and has more accurate information as well.
+maddog brony73 A szilagyi chancellor is an excellent place for a beginner to start. A paval potkin altai khomus also fits the bill as well. www.oberton.pro/?lang=en has an awesome deal on the potkin harp that puts it under 10 bucks.
My stepdad told me that a jaw harp can loosen your teeth if you play them too much. Isn't there some way to prevent it? That's what he told me when i told him i wanted to learn how to play the jaw harp.
I haven't heard any evidence of harps loosening teeth or damaging healthy teeth and I have spoken with people that have played them their whole lives and are now old. If a harp is damaging or loosening teeth it is a big indicator of an underlying case of a serious oral problem, i.e. periodontis, gum and tooth disease, and other forms of oral dysfunction. If a person has any of these, many everyday foods pose the same threats as a harp. Tough foods, jerky, corn, gum, candy. If you have healthy teeth and gums then the harp will pose no greater risk than these foods. Correct playing of the harp will not include hard biting, chewing, or putting a lot of strain or pressure against the teeth. You might also ask some questions to your dentist, but unless you have oral disease or weakened teeth and gums due to drug use or old age, you shouldn't have any issues. Also be sure to mind your parents judgment, they always have your best interest at heart.
Why hasn’t anyone tried applying plastic or something at the harp where it contacts the teeth? Seems like it would still resonate and never rattle on teeth
Any extra soft material might end up dampening the vibration and quieting the harp. A good jaw harp should never rattle on teeth or be uncomfortable. Only toy harps should do that.
My boyfriend & i just got our jaw harps today cause they came in the mail. We got them off of www.danmoi.com. I still want to learn how to play, despite my parents' judgements. I'm sure if you took a break from playing once in a while you wouldn't have the problem of loosening teeth.
Are you trying to play a snoopy harp, first note jaw harp, or hillbilly harp? If so they are defective 100% of the time and will make little to no sound. Check out theharpery.com
You are very god at harp , I know it’s hard to teach people about heap , just remember all people mouths and teeth and lips all different , just saying , this is a beautiful peace of things we all should know, it’s was forgotten log ago and more ... people need wake up, if not new gen will take over and all be lost
You don’t actually know how to play this instrument. You just make noises with it. If you focus the shape of your mouth you can actually pick out melodies from the overtones.
Actually melodic play involves more than mouth shape. It will also involve opening and closing of the glottis. This is a beginner video and I am not involving these techniques for those new to the instrument. These techniques can be found in many different countries and cultures like in Norway, Estonia, Rajasthan, and a few other places.

Just bought one . I've played guitar for years . Made some sounds instantly. Very fun to play . Awesome video thank you
Enjoy
Can you gibe man update , Jacob? How is it going ?

I've been playing with mouth guards. It sounds the exact same.
You have a knack for teaching, keep it up. Thx

Harpery,
True that!! I just scored my first harp. I'll follow your lessons for a bit and post a video for your amusement and approval in a few months.
That was so so helpful for me as a begginer ,thank you so much!!!
No problem. Beginner is the most important as it is at the beginning.
Saying what words to say for rhythms makes it so much easier
What you said was perfect. Your anatomy nakes your own unique song. Beautiful and great video cheers!
I like your theory about mouth harps but the practical parts are always only a few seconds long. Is there a video of you, where you play a complete piece? I would love to hear a complete 3 minute thing or so.
Just heard of these the other day, ordered one, cant wait to try
Our old folks use to play those. One of the local bands incorporated it into the intro of their song and it just sound so sweet.
Great video! You have a wonderful way of expaining.
Which harp is that you are playing here?

I am from Puerto Rico, can this be used with tropical kinda music? Thanks.
You are half of the instrument. If you can be used with tropical music, then it can be used. Also playing a harp in the correct key will help.
Hi, how loud should it sound without a microphone?
Harps Vary. Many harps are very loud. Snoopy harps make no sound.
