OMG I learn so much from your videos, seriously thank you for what both you and Porky are doing when it comes to educating the world about jaw harps. You guys have opened my mind to what's possible and available. Over the past couple of evenings I've literally fallen asleep listening to jaw harp videos, not because they are boring or anything like that but because they sort of put me into a meditative state and I'm listening to so many videos to try to figure what is what along with picking up new techniques.
Man, you look like your trippin out when you play! Especially that first one! This instrument is so cool. Thanks for sharing. I just got lost in a “Turkey in the Straw” hole on TH-cam and most were playing violin or guitar or some combination of string instruments. I was like “no, it’s the boing boing instrument that I should be hearing! Where is the boing boing?” Eventually that led me to your channel. Very cool! I didn’t know you could do soooo much with these harps. The different sounds that you can produce is incredible. Thanks for playing for us and sharing your passion. Rock on!
Bebbcorp Harpery I can totally hear it and feel it. With the right time and place, weather, fragrance in the air, and state of mind I’m sure this could take you somewhere else completely. Very cool.
I bought a cheap jaw harp in an antique store next to the Julian apple pie factory. I played it for hours, so much in fact the twang (middle piece) looks like it’s gonna detach 😂 I don’t care if it can’t make music, I still love jaw harps!
I really enjoyed seeing them done side by side like that. All of them do sound amazing, though I most enjoyed hearing the Mohan Bass Morchang and the Fomenkov. WOW! I'm looking forward to the day I can play one of those as skillfully, they look incredibly enjoyable to play!
Just found you man, wooh that is smooth! I'm in Ireland and looking at minimalist instruments to record as part of a project. I am percussionist and other instruments, if you can eve call them that, some are more like kitchen instruments.. 🤪Anyway dude love the sound and dedicated expertise. Thank you Brother. 🇮🇪 💚🤍🧡
I too am learning tons about jaw harps thanks to you. I love these things! I started playing Red Dead on my ps4 again and there’s one in there. This time it inspired me to learn about them. I like how you look when you play them, the love for the instrument really shows. I think I need to get one in the future.
I really love your spirit man. I believe my Spirit guides me to hear your skills. And to be honest I'm struct to your ability. I feel the vibration. I want to start learning this instrument the sounds is heaven. Any suggestions please. And can i call you teacher🙏🤗🙇♂️
Thank you for your kind words. I cannot access the Fomenkov anymore, but if you want something equally awesome, and more widely available check out shipanov. For spiritual or meditational play you do not have to spend a lot of money which is what harps like this are. Here are some I suggest for first harps for the beginner. www.theharpery.com/recommended-first-harps-for-beginners Although for meditation and journey work many find that Glazyrin are not ideal. While I am not a teacher, I consider myself someone who is learning. I hope the learning about the instrument, meditation, journey, and self never stops. Harp on my friend. 🙂🙏❤️
@@bebbcorpharpery7331 to honest I'm awekening and most of my I'm super concious . And when I heard this instrument while doing my walking meditation it guides me to more deeper in my inner universe. Thank you again and more Journey to come.
This video might be helpful. th-cam.com/video/Udn2cYe9QOo/w-d-xo.html Also while not jaw harp for good information on journeying I suggest, “The way of the shaman,” by Michael Harner and, “Shamanic Journeying: A Beginners Guide,” by Sandra Ingerman. A lot of the concepts transfer over to journeying with the harp. I also suggest listening to some prerecorded drum sessions while in the dark that can be found for free here on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/WqrBfyCQ0lQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/bgtjvpCiQUY/w-d-xo.html There are so many more. Good luck on your travels. May you encounter things that are beautiful, things that make you uncomfortable, things that make you grow, things that make you afraid, and have many a revelation about yourself and the universe. 🙂🙏❤️
Thanks! That was cool! I want to start playing jaw harp for meditation purposes. I want quality but something appropriate to a beginner. I do play harmonica at present.
The reed on Fomenkov's Harp are crazy: Flat at the begening and goes triangular at the end, near to the "eye" of the harp... How do you think it affect the sound ??? As always, excuse my english, Im french thats why Im not good to write english ! Take care and have a cool night in North America. Merci de ta réponse chère ami ! 🙂
Just wonderful instruments... a guy who knows playing. And its truly without amplifing or echoes,...NO Electronics with? So, an easy instrument for going outside, playing in the Nature....with the nature...Awesome Ancient-Techno-Mindblowing-timeless-Soundmachine, doesnt matter from wood or steel - BUT U NEED MELODYS IN YOUR BRAIN! I just have 2 differents of them but having so much Fun - And i do dreamable Sounds makes me cry, smile and wonder about the miracles of Music, done by jaws harp. BTW - Germans call this "Maultrommel" (wordbyword: Mouthdrum). Try to record my ideas too ;-)
I’ve mastered the basics of jaw harp on my hobby lobby type Jaw Harp I picked up at a gift shop in Joshua Tree. I was looking to upgrade to something with way more sensitivity and volume. I was wondering if you could recommend a website or brand of Jaw Harp you could recommend?
Check out theharpery.com. For starting I recommend Ghorka Tailess, or Glazyrin wave, lighthouse, or compass. Tailess without draw for an introduction to open/close play. Tailess draw for draw starts. Glazyrin wave for midrange saturation, lighthouse for saturated bass, and compass for fast play. All great and affordable, just different paths to travel down.
I got a Potkin as my first. Then I got a Lighthouse. Both are wonderful and not expensive. I played my Potkin while hiking the Grand Canyon and the Carlsbad Cavern. You will love both harps.
See the thing about these things, they sound cool behind music. But I so rarely hear it played with other musicians. You guys tend to play them solo. I'd love to be in a little sort of jugbandish kind of old timey combo with someone who played maybe jaw harp and a little harmonica and/or washboard. Maybe some jug. And maybe could do a little harmony. Anyone like that in the south Florida area? I've got a nice little repertoire of folk, blues music and old timey music.
i am convinced that harps were made for health. which beginner harp gives you that, you know....."other-worldly feeling" in yer bones. i'm looking to submerge myself in frequency and vibration as i learn..any tips?
I can't find the third one reviewed, the Kovatsenko, for sale anywhere! I love the case and the sturdiness of it. Anyone have a link where I can purchase one?
@@bebbcorpharpery7331 That would be great! I have my first harp, a Potkin, with a Vargan on the way, but love the case without a string, I want that to be my walk-around!
Hi, I saw your top 10 from Khomus, I'm about to buy one of them and my budget is around 100 dollars. Is there a model and brand that you can recommend? From already thank you very much
There is only one Khomus that I know of which is at 100 dollars and that is a mandarov. Most other Khomus will be 130 and up. For 100 or less you might try a Vargan.
@@bebbcorpharpery7331 Hello, thank you very much for your prompt reply. He did not know the difference between Khomus and Vargan. I thought it was the same thing. So I reformulate my question, what would be the vargan that you would recommend with my budget? I'm seriously thinking about the Glazyrin Star vargan model
The star is a good saturated, loud, and widely available Vargan. Give it a try. It is similar to the ascetic, by Glazyrin and the ascetic is lower in cost, and more flexible tongue.
I would say neither are better, just different. The ascetic is a bit deeper and also has a more flexible reed, so if flexibility is what you are after go with an ascetic. The star us a longer reed that is a bit stiffer. More easily mutable. Star also is a bit larger and has more of a design on it.
Check out this video. The jaw harp will need to be firmly against the teeth as the lips will muffle the sounded. Also try playing in front of the mirror as this will allow you to see problem areas.
Swede here: Mun Har-P-a if an American would say it for a Norse to understand: "moon-harPa" but they wouldn't as it's called a Giga in the North. G as a J in Jasper. Giga = Jiga. Mungiga == MunnJigga sort of.
Thank you so much for these really impressive examples! I'm here for having some examples to compare this with the vocal jaw harp imitation of Adam Chance in Home Free - Man of Constant Sorrow th-cam.com/video/-ew_bfFvros/w-d-xo.html Most reactors to this song mistake the jaw harp for a didgeridoo. I would be interested in your judgement of this vocal imitation.
I wish you would spell the names or show the spelling. I have a hearing problem and find it hard to follow what you say. Please spell out the names. Also, if you have dealers other than Amazon ( too expensive ) please add their sites.
You can't have a stainless steel and a carbon steel, in one. They are different steels. Learn your stuff son. You can make the sound's. But not the music.
It is quite common to have a carbon spring steel reed in a stainless steel frame as high carbon spring steel outperforms stainless varieties that are flexible enough that can be used for the tongue. Every now and again you find a maker that uses stainless for both the frame and the tongue. Also to help you in your understanding the reed or tongue, and the frame are two pieces of metal held together by either a crimp, wedge, or other fastening method. The more you know. 🙂💫
