That was awesome to see and hear your collection! I've only got one at the moment, a Lighthouse by Dmitry Glazyrin. In my experience the best thing about these is that you can easily bring them around anywhere and provide some entertainment without much pressure to play specific tunes cause it's more of a background drone than specific clear notes. Not to say there isn't any possible technique to them to get more variety and clarity. I've heard some really impressive performances which I hope to work up to myself one day.
Thanks bro! Feels a little strange talking to a camera, but it'll get easier. Ah, I intend to add a Glazyrin to my collection! Those are great sounding instruments. That's also very true; they are perfect travel instruments. They can be played simply, or used for more advance melodies, and rhythms. An online friend of mine is a Jews Harp historian from Italy. He travels all over Europe to traditional music symposiums to talk about its history, and capabilties. I read recently that the cowboy song "Goodbye Old Paint" was originally written on jaw harp, so he looked into the original fiddle recording from the 20's, and figured out how to play it melodically on harp. A lot of songs have been written on them and then transferred to violin, or piano! Super interesting stuff. Same, I hope to develop a playing style over time, and learn to play melodically. Check out some munnharpa, or Italian marranzano videos!
NGL, this was much more interesting than I expected it to be. The first one is really pretty and I liked the details on some of the others too. The mass-produced "cheap" one had the sound i was most familiar with. Since they are keyed differently is it typical to have several so you can play along with other instruments to different songs? Thanks for sharing. You are doing fine with talking to the camera and it will be easier the more you do it.
Thanks man!! I really appreciate the feedback. i noticed my last jaw harp video got some attention, so I thought I should try talking about them a bit! Yep! Similar to harmonicas, people that bring them to jams will bring afew different keys typically G, D, A, but there's also "untuned" harps that some solo players prefer. I'm stoked you found it interesting!
All very beautiful harps. The peacock one my favorite
