Jews Harp?

Recording Studios Sydney : the Jew's harp, also called jaw's harp, juice harp, or guimbard , musical instrument consisting of a thin wood or metal tongue fixed at one end to the base of a two-pronged frame. This jews harp plays fast and very resonante. can be used for meditative slow playing and for fast virtuoso playing as well. Comes with beautiful designed box, inlayed with metal, decorated by traditional khakass motifs. The system with triple fastening of the tongue (Burtsev system) originally looks and adds to the sound of the khomus (Jew's harp) the wealth of those sounds that are usually muted in the khomus - the tongue is suspended on a triple mount.
The hand holding the instrument must not interfere with the free movement of the reed. If any fingers touch the reed, its sound will be muted. To further complicate matters, holding the harp on the outside edges may compress the playing area and cause the reed to hit the frame.
Ayarkhaan is a group of specialists in the art of the playing the khomus, a metal instrument that fits in the mouth and functions like a Jew's harp; it is regarded as the national instrument of the Sakha. However, the khomus is different in several respects; while a conventional Jew's harp is quiet, limited in range, and in the amount of control even a good player can muster over the pitch, the khomus is loud, strikingly expansive in range, and Ayarkhaan can get sounds out of it ranging over about three octaves. The group is also able to harmonize it in a sense that's chorally conceived yet almost electronic sounding in effect.
The instrument consists of a horseshoe- or hairpin-shaped frame that surrounds a flexible lamella (tongue). In the West, the metal horseshoe version with a separately attached lamella is best known, but in Asia and Oceania, hairpin- or leaf-shaped instruments with the lamella cut directly into the metal or bamboo frame are more common. Like the metal kouxian found in the southwest provinces of China, this type is often linked in sets of three or more graduated sizes that expand the instrument's limited range. To play a Jew's harp, a musician places it in front of the lips and teeth, vibrates the lamella with the hand, and then varies the position of the larynx and tongue to amplify different overtones within the mouth to create a musical line.
