Grover Alto Austrian Jaw Harp Review and comparison

Today we take a look at the Alto Austrian Jaw Harp by Grover and see what it has to offer. Is it a good for beginner? How does it compare to other harps in it's price range? Is it a good buy?

I picked up the blue one on amazon a few months back, it's larger and bass-ier. Got it because it was cheap and wasn't sure if I'd stick with the jaw harp after a couple weeks. The trigger definitely sliced the crap out of my finger, like hundreds of shallow papercuts, but I found that trimming that bit off with wire cutters and filing down the sharp end (mine no longer has that curve hook) and it plays MUCH better and smoother. It doesn't have much audio range, but it served its purpose for introducing me the basics. Just placed an order for the Lighthouse after watching your review on it and I'm excited to play it when it arrives this week!

There is also a Soprano and Tenor Grover harps on Amazon and wherever they are sold

i found a random jaw harp in my room and it looks to be this brand, i watched your video on learning the jaw harp and just can't seem to get it, but oh well.

It may be a toy harp and also easily bent or broken. Try a Paval Potkin Altai Khomus. Very affordable and very easy to play. Good sound.

Aw... I just found this exact one while digging through stuff in my grandma's basement. I cleaned it and was trying to understand how to play it right, and I thought it could've been of some, at least, rarity! Sad. 😂

Been looking at the Russian Vargen- Wave. Have you played it? If so, what's your take on it? Thank you!

[@michaelgreenwell9809]

Thank you for giving these videos - they are really very helpful. What is the name of the harp you are demonstrating on the 6:16 minute?

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

At 6:16 I am playing the Szilagyi Chancellor. Thank you for the comment and I am glad you enjoyed the video. Happy Harping!

[@deanmarkthegreat8868]

Hmm will I have that dose have lot noise and loud it good

[@wingsofsarrow]

what is a good harp to get cant cost more than 40

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

One of the ones that I spend a lot of time playing is the Szilagyi Chancellor. It is widely available and affordable as well being a good harp for beginners to start out on. I got mine for around 30$ shipped. It was the second harp I ever bought and I still play it quite a bit. Here is a song played with it in the video in this link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iILCdqysbLd5psk Here is a review of it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn-5emVppJh3mLs Here is a comparison of a few different types of jaw harp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hovLY4Vuptujfqs Also the altai khomus by P. Potkin is a good one as well.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

+ThePurpleHarpoon I second your comment. The bass tartars are hard to beat for the money. Good form.

[@jaaguprandi7069]

try estonian harp, its with a good dark sound

[@tinaschmidtsart]

oh my, after watching all your other fantastic reviews and amazing demonstrations, these little toy harps are pathetic. What I got out of this video is to stay away from these pieces of shrapnel and get a real harp. The Glazyrin Wave starts at about $32 and even a bit cheaper (I've seen it for $20 plus shipping which you probably break even with $32-$34). And that Glazyrin Wave isn't so bad for being on the economic beginners end.
