Amazing! 😍✝️🙌

[@deedeetibbits]

Thank you!!

[@janetryan9779]

Another fascinating instrument! That seems to be operating on the same principle as the much smaller metal “jaw harp”. (I have one of those). Thanks for demonstrating this for us- and sending you wishes for a blessed Easter!

[@deedeetibbits]

You are right! It is the same principle…just with the bow OUTSIDE the mouth!

[@MEGAMIGA]

Never heard of that instrument! The mouth harp's bigger cousin 😁

[@prometheusjones6580]

It sounds like a jew's harp

[@deedeetibbits]

It’s the same principle…..with the bow OUTSIDE the mouth 🎶

[@sneffels]

[@livefree9852]

The sound of it is interesting but it’s really fascinating at the same time

[@deedeetibbits]

I think so too!🎶

[@shishauribe2001]

I like it

[@mramirez5239]

Wouldn't it be nice to try and track down which nation/tribe/clan this instrument originated from and find someone who may know a traditional song to play on it?

[@deedeetibbits]

I would LOVE that!!….if you find ANYTHING out, please let me know! That would be SO cool🎶

@@deedeetibbits HI Deedee! I love your channel! Big fan. I play a few instruments myself, and love collecting them. I wanted to offer my perspective on this, and when I do I mean no offense to anyone. I'm Canadian First Nations. Have you heard of the recent allegations against Buffy and her native identity? A documentary, and expose was relased this year that proved she was born to an Italian family from Stoneham, Massachussets, and that she was never Cree. I grew up loving Buffy's music, and my mom has met her on 3 different occasions. I've tried to do my own research on Native American mouth bow history, and most of what I find references Buffy's claims, and I've become skeptical. There is a strong history of it's use in the Appalachians, and Africa, and I think it may have come with African slaves originally, and was introduced to the West. This is just my perspective on it, and hope I don't offend anyone! I would love to learn that it was true. Either way fantastic playing!

[@maskrosus]

Thanks for showing all amazing instruments🙂

[@deedeetibbits]

Thank you! Your comment is encouraging! I bought it from Glen Schultz, who made such beautiful whistles while he was alive. He’s been gone for several years now.

[@deedeetibbits]

Sorry this didn’t make sense😏. I had the wrong response up.

[@sharim]

I definitely recognized the song. Just lovely!

[@deedeetibbits]

It’s always a relief when someone recognizes the tune😳
