Schwartz Sound of Magic Jaw Harp Review and Comparison.

[@wassup1233]

Finally seeing a starter sound of magic cheap harp in action keep up the good work bebbcorp

[@BoxcarBetts]

“Entirely acceptable.” 😂

[@sasquatchpatch]

Certainly adequate

[@cjfourie8327]

I have the same one for my birthday. It is excellent for beginners

[@ΓιώργοςΤζό-γ7φ]

i have four of them. here's what is helpful for me ...the bridge . See i am ,or better was, a multimusician for over thirty years who lost my left hand. i hold the harp from the bridge with thumb and index fingers and play the reed with my middle finger inward while keeping it kind of steady with my left wrist . i would very much appreciate if you could try and give some tips about this . playing without one hand i mean

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

You need a harp holder. We have some. I haven’t done any video of one yet.

[@ΓιώργοςΤζό-γ7φ]

I've never heard of them.i will definitely look it up but it would do me great service to see a short presentation in one of your videos.thank you for your response

I bought two recently for my younger daughter. She has trouble playing my Glazyrin Mongol, so I needed something a little more basic. One had OK gaps, the other had bigger gaps and the tone just isn't good and volume is low. My biggest problem with them, is the stiffness of the reed. I might even strip off the paint and fit a reed made from a hacksaw blade.

[@sasquatchpatch]

Looks like a great trainer. Especially for younger or beginners so they aren’t scared away by the errors that come with compressing and causing metal slap noises. As long as it’s known that you’ll have to stretch your wings without the trainer.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

Kind of like training wheels.

[@Lugh444]

There is a style of playing that is possible with one hand, where the harp is held in place by the lips - I have seen Khomus players do this, I believe there may actually be some Khomus forged with a special piece on the arms that allows you to hold it in place with your mouth steadily while you play. I am missing most of my thumb and some parts of my fingers, but I am able to play jaw harp if I pluck left handed. If I only had one hand, I think I would try to find something like this kzbin.infowXVTkF6rrsM?si=7UIt1MFeQ1UxbGFQ

Stopping 5 year olds from saying "first". Also, good vid as always. Keep up the good work!

[@Dykeasuarus]

You made it hard for me to able to call u to ask what I should buy, So i got alot. I would love to actaully Talk with you, thankyou bud

[@AngusFindlay]

This is my first, and currently only, harp. I'm slowly learning, and have tweaked the gaps a bit. The quality of the coating is pretty mediocre - It is definitely wearing.

[@jann84]

Just got one to test if it can be a decent gift. Mine turned out to be garbage. Weak sound, but uncomfortable vibration on the teeth. I can't quite believe how bad it is. Guess I should have added a beginners harp on my recent Szilagyi order instead. For other Germany residents I can recommend the Schlütter tuned harps as value for money.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

So it seems I might have gotten the best case scenario for one of this model.

[@Dykeasuarus]

You sold me already bud, i cant wait to see whatcha send me

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

While I don’t sell the sound of magic jaw harp, we have some much better harps at theharpery.com

[@itzkool4]

Im as surprised as you are, a harp seen in amazon and has a weird packaging and looks so cheap and all wouldn't seem like it'll play decently, it's nice to have someone like you try all kinds of harps and give his own unbiased review and opinion on them

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

Keeping in mind the sound of this one was decent. I may try another one in the future as quality of harps can vary.

[@sirhcw4369]

I have that harp but I still suck at playing it

[@nikkoo87]

I have a red one that looks exactly like this but it wasnt the sound of magic one

[@eidontkehr4081]

this was my second harp before i bought a good vargan and morchang. ist better then a snoopy but its still a toy and not a good instrument.

[@dorombotherium]

I do not have one, but I see them a lot, however.

[@WillelmusAestus]

I don't understand. This was my first harp and it almost did not make any sound. The paint also went away really fast. The next harp, a Szailagyi, was a huge step up

[@Lugh444]

Did it come in the same packaging? I have seen others that are similar but not good - blue Grover harps and others that have that closed frame with the loop at the trigger end

[@WillelmusAestus]

@Lugh444 It is actually the same package hahah

[@kretobojca]

For me the trigger is to sharp -very hard to play both directions without hurting your finger and I'm guitarist so I thought my fingers used to sharp metal objects... Sadly in my country is almost only avalible harp ;/

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

@@kretobojca take and sand the edge smooth. Play it open tone( breathe and keep tongue in center of mouth,) in front of a tuner. See if it played open is near a standard note. If its fundamental frequency is slightly below a not sand the trigger until it raises to a note and you now have a harp tuned to a specific key and it won’t be rough on the finger anymore.

[@kretobojca]

@@bebbcorpharpery7331 i tried that. I even put a drop of CA glue to make something like a ball at the end of the trigger to help the finger slip easier. It helped only a little but still it was stiff and sharp. When I tried to bend the tip it broke because the metal used on it is very brittle. I wouldn't buy it second time. It's better to pay a little more for some other harp which is what I did. It's not a bad harp tho, but if someone wants to play it for long time, fast or use it professionally it can be difficult, also because of that metal "quack" sound.

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

There are so many better harps out there than this one. To bend a trigger you need heat or it might snap. Also do not use ca glue on jaw harps. It is not food safe and is toxic.

[@Dykeasuarus]

🐸 were do i send u money

[@RoquailDMeouwaith]

I disagree that a potkins is a starter harps...because potkins are so easy they develop bad habits that dont work out with other harps. A potkins is for experienced players who just eant a harp thry can play while relaxing with their feet up
