Jaw Harp Comparison

Today I compare the jaw harps that I have hanging on the wall. This video was made at the request of one of our subscribers, "CynicalWhiskey." Enjoy.

[@parkerchace]

I don’t know what I was expecting with this video, but I’m glad I stayed lmaooo

[@grimdrum2396]

Awesome review!!! I had 2 of the small ones that you like the least. They are 20+ years old and served me well until they both broke. This is very helpful in buying better ones. Thank you!!

[@tophatness5674]

It's great to see how much your wall collection has grown, and your company too.

[@kittykuroki]

I wish you put links for where to find these particular ones!

[@ZeeZeeBun]

I've always wondered what instrument makes that sound... Such curious little things..

[@wisewisdomtooth]

Yes us little humans are quite curious..

[@roccity5859]

7:53 he’s a natural! 😂

[@shellydianenovascotia3914]

Loved the Szilagyi Chancellor......I have the snoopy dog harp and the red one you talk about and they are both terrible....so I had given up...but would love to revisit this again.

[@NolaGB]

Thank you for this video!! I first saw and heard someone play the Jaw Harp (or mouth harp) eons ago ... about 40+ years ago. That person was Buffy Sainte Marie and have wanted to learn to play since, but couldn't find one, so I gave up. I like the tone of the one you played at the beginning of this video, better than the others. Again ... thank you! Subscribed.

[@bl8n2]

very glad I saw this mate..my Grandfather played one for us as wee children, I ordered one online recently & I'm sure I gonna get what I paid for

[@alexuke3875]

3:33 is the one I have ... go dammit

[@morgue502]

I looked up "instrument that goes boing" and found a whole community of people who play these.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

Welcome, welcome my friend.

[@morgue502]

Bebbcorp Harpery I bought one yesterday and am getting it today. Looks easy but I am probably wrong.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

You got this. If you have any problems leave me a comment

[@morgue502]

@@bebbcorpharpery7331 I was apparently right. It is easy at least for me. I have a crooked tooth and the harp keeps hitting it, but i am adapting to that.

[@combatcarl5070]

Im sitting here watching this being very entertained and knowing damn well I should get ready for work.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

Nah, work can wait. Procrastination Station in progress.

[@berimbolo2947]

Sweet man! I just bought my first one. Its hard to get the right angle. Keeps hitting my teeth. Your collection is awesome.

[@akualezlihope7301]

I AM BLOWN AWAY! Thank you for the insight and information! Deeply appreciated! Now I want several of these instruments.

[@JW-lt8py]

2:05 the first jaw harp i have ever played. it was good for a bit but lost its tune and pretty much bent and started sounding terrible lol

[@fannymaresu3111]

And where can I find the second one, pleaaaase? 😍

[@AdamSteidl]

Very cool, I'd like to have a hand at trying to make one or two of those wooden instruments.

[@fzuzka]

Thank you! Very helpful. And I love your T-shirt. They are awesome!! 💗

Flight of the Conchords. New Zealand humour at its most droll. Love it.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

I also love what we do in the shadows.

[@annakeye]

@@bebbcorpharpery7331 Oh, thanks for the reminder. I had completely forgotten about it. It's frigging hilarious. Obviously you have a keen sense of humour if you can appreciate the drollest of NZ comedy. Good stuff.

[@cuptie71]

What type of harp is suitable for the D minor spaghetti western music and what size do you recommend ? Thanks great comparisons.

[@DrNidrog]

Amazing music 🎶 lesson thank you!! Do you know if there are any harps or instruments made out of silver gold precious metals? This video really was awesome 👏🏻 you have a wonderful display of harps and good production! I love the different sounds of each harp, my only experience was from my Snoopy mouth harp.

[@DrNidrog]

My Snoopy Jews harp is the same as the one from Hobby Lobby. Your review is spot on.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

I do believe that Mohan makes a morchang out of silver. Also I think that there are a few bejeweled harps made for royalty. Here is Aron Szilagyi playing a gold one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYWqXmOpi7tjo9E

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

+Gordin Saulnier Thanks

[@comicsans7437]

Now see the one at around 4:05 looks a lot like the one I got at my music store, originally around 67 Swedish kronor but I got it on sale for 29 cause the store is closing down. It is made of steel, same shape and stuff but it reacts to my breath. It's in G# i think and you can hear the little *ding* whenever you play but I think it's okay... what is your opinion?

[@Temporalist]

What's the second harp called? I want to pick one up, but I can't hear the name very well and the captions aren't helping

[@Timurnator1990]

Thanks mate , you helpme a lot , maybie next time play little more time evry harp too get the diference , sorry bad english , THANKS

[@bradenhicks7849]

Last episode I watched was a mastodon shirt and now FOTC? good taste man!

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

Thanks. I like music that sounds good to me.

[@Eflodur]

Hey which harp to you recommend for high speed playing style. I use to hit the reed with fast back and forth strokes by moving the whole hand back an forth. Already broke some reeds and lots of jew harps are kind of not stabel enough to hold on with the speed and strength of strokes.

[@iam1smiley1]

Glazyrin alpha or any of the smaller ones are good for beating on.

[@michaelmuller6029]

I love your videos!

[@mckeebell9064]

Which is cheaper and sounds better?

[@Wenis_Prinkle]

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

I love that title so much.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

Also your name is super awesome.

[@uxartmusicvideo-andphotogr2043]

Sadly most people try and hear bad jaw harp's, what drowning jaw harp's reputation down. Most stores don't sell proper jaw harp's. Not seen many proper jaw harp's to buy in Estonia. Gladly I got Nepal's brass jew harp at 11€ price from Estonian store "Universal universum" .

[@guillaumehebert3949]

I have a russian jew harp I love it and sounds great!

[@Fluffleduckle]

I don't play the jaw harp, I don't own one, but I love the sound, still, the fact that this has any dislikes makes me mad and I haven't even watched the video yet

[@user-re7po]

You should do a full collection video

[@RustyNacho]

If the two pieces you put your mouth on that's around the reed are too far apart can it still work? because I'm not having any luck

[@PhenomenalMysticism]

Can you tell me if the jaw harp I have is good for beginners? I bought a jaw harp a few years and it was only played seldom. Now, I want to get good with the jaw harp. The jaw harp I have is the one from Nepal.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

Which one from Nepal? Post a vid to your channel showing it and let me know when it is up.

[@PhenomenalMysticism]

I have one of the jaw harps in this video. It is the one played from 2:00-2:26.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

Yes they are decent for beginners provided that they are not bent or defective.

[@natuvampire]

Thanks for the video!

[@UpcomingJedi]

Good thing for making funny sounds for facebook posts with grawlixes

[@ModernTartarus]

Another question, how do you clean/take care of your harps? Have you ever had to replace a tongue/feather (if that's even possible)?

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

The way I clean them is to wipe them off well with a cloth at the end of playing. Then before bedtime I oil them with coconut oil. Mark from mouth music recommends taking a burnishing device on like the little felt one on a dremel to them every once in a while if buildup occurs. I have not had to do this to my harps as I have not seen any buildup. I have not ever had to replace a reed on my harps. In the paperwork that comes with Szilagyi harps it states that under normal the lifetime of the reed is around 31 million plucks. Other brands are probably somewhere near that as well. I am sure it is possible to replace reeds on some types if it were screwed, but on all the harps I currently own they are crimped and I don't know if I could replace. If I ever try my hand at replacing one I will be sure to make a video of it. I will try to get a video on harp cleaning and care made in the upcoming couple of weeks.

[@schath123]

[@akualezlihope7301]

Thanks for the detail, information and time. Very kind of you. Much appreciated.

[@tyrozone5]

Pause at 4:57 I’m dying 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@ModernTartarus]

Thanks Are there any particular harps you're considering next?

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

+CynicalWhiskey I for now am looking at getting a shlutter somewhere in the mid range. I will have to figure out a tuning that will go well with the current collection.

[@spinalkid]

They are all different styles from different regions with different characteristics. Morchang from Rajasthan, India, Vargan of Russia, and Khomus particular to Yakutia, the northernmost tip of Russia right across from Alaska.
