Discover the timeless charm of the Schwarz Jaw Harp, a compact and expressive musical instrument with centuries of tradition. This 62mm red model (Size #8) comes from the renowned Sound of Magic series, handcrafted in Austria by Schwarz – makers of quality jaw harps since 1679.
The jaw harp, also known as a Jew's harp or mouth harp, is a simple yet captivating instrument. You hold the frame against your front teeth (gently) and pluck the metal tongue with your finger to create vibrations. By subtly moving your mouth and controlling your breathing, you can shape the tone and resonance, producing rhythmic, trance-like melodies. Its sound is both percussive and melodic, making it a favorite in folk traditions across the world.
Ideal for beginners, collectors, or those exploring traditional and world instruments, the Schwarz Jaw Harp offers a blend of craftsmanship, history, and musical fun in a pocket-sized form.
Made in Austria. Timeless since 1679.
