after watching a lot of tutorials, i came to the conclusion that it *does* matter in which hand you hold it
Of course, one will feel more natural than the other. But I am convinced it a matter of practice. Like, some snooker plates are equally good with both. Admittedly I don’t hold it in my left a lot tho.
@@SnaptoGrid but this is the only one i watched that actually mentioned it, since i am left handed, it felt more natural to hold it in my right hand (and thus play it with left), however it seems easier to hold it in my left hand.
Of course. That’s because that side is wired for it. But I am confident it’s possible to get just as good with the other. Just look at Ronnie O’Sullivan for example.
It does matter in that an individual may feel more comfortable with holding it a certain way, but it's totally possible to learn how to hold it in either hand.
excellent guide, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge✨
You are most welcome :)
thanks to you 😉
Hi there, thank you for making this video! My jaw harp was very quiet because I wasn't using the back of my throat, but you taught me to, as well as the breathing in and out trick. Thank you! 🩷
Thanks a lot brother, I had been looking for some explanations in this elegant instrument and I liked a lot the clear way you explained it.
I am glad you find it useful! What was/is your biggest challenge with the jaw harp?
what if u have no teeth?
Thanks a lot for the lesson!
Love the video.
Thanks man! And thanks for inspiring my jawharp passion.
Excellent tutorial! I have a jaw harp, and bought it in online, but it is very small. yours looks little lengthier, I am a very beginner. Can you suggest a jaw harp which can be bought in online?
Good video thank you! You have a very pleasant voice btw
It took so long to make omg. This was the third take. Thanks! 😇
that's my pleasure 👈👌🏼
Excellent mouth harp tutorial
Awesome advice great to spread harp lore 💘
we want more videos🎶💫
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for your support :)
Okay so I kind of need some help - I’m doing what your saying, but mine is just vibrating, not making noise at all, am I doing something wrong?
Is it a cheap one? The first one I bought was a cheap morchang and it was very disappointing. The reed was too stiff. Then I bought a Glazyrin. They are VERY expensive, but damn, you really pay for the sound. Trust me, they’re expensive but really rewarding.
just wanted to say really good video , very informative and you have a calming voice
Thanks so much, glad you liked it!
The size make the sound different
Great work out! Thx
You are most welcome! What aspect of jaw harp-ing is the most difficult to learn? I'm looking for ideas for upcoming content for you folks. 😇
@@SnaptoGrid I’ve just got the harp on Friday. Just getting the vibration groaning was an impossibility, at first. At least now I can get a different bits & pieces of different sounds, just got to keep persevering with the tutorials
@@maryhairy1 Uuh congratulations on your new harp :D
Yes, it feels so strange in the very beginning. It's all about holding the harp real still (firm but not overly so) against the front of the teeth, for good contact. Then, the reed basically does the rest. This can only be learned by practicing, but I'm sure you'll see progress in a couple of days!
Good luck. :)
Finally I understand
Is it supposed to rattle a tiny bit on the teeth? Or not move at all? It doesn’t make much sound if it’s still
Im having the same question
Ótimo vídeo, será que posso confiar que nesse site da descrição vai me entregar aqui no Brasil?
Sorry brother, I don’t understand Brazilian!
@@SnaptoGrid they asked if you know whether the site in the description will safely ship to Brazil or not. There's a translation option underneath. Thanks for the video btw.

Nice beginners guide, btw. Not perfect, but what is? :))))

Nice
What jaw harp are enough using?
Hey! My apologies for the late response.
This is an Altay Khomus. Here is a link to the exact one I'm using in this video. It's actually super nice for meditative play!

Hi 😊😊😊
Is it possible to play with braces?
I imagine it should be. Might feel a little weird though
@@chaz1357 yea I'm able to do it they kinda hold it in place so I don't hit my teeth
I still cant get it. Idk if my harp is not working or if I need to spend more time
Which one have u got? And what’s the issue? If all else fails, we can set up a quick Jitsi call/lesson! 😅
@@SnaptoGrid thats a generous offer but no its a cheap $7.99 one thats poorly made. At least it was cheap though.
If it’s like a guitar shop kinda harp (massive gaps, no saturation, short sustain, low volume), then it’s not fun to learn on. I mean you could probably do if, but it’s like learning to run in hiking boots. Forgive my terrible analogy 🤣
So yeah, if you feel like it’s something u wanna learn/explore more, I’d recommend getting a nicer harp. Like, basically any Glazyrin off of Amazon (probably the easiest option). You won’t regret it. 😎
But if you do..don’t ditch your current one. Keep it around and check what you can do with it later!
Hi where are you ? We need music, your music ✨
I wrote a comment but I think it disappeared?
I think it disappeared!, how are you?
Ohh I see I replied to your other comment also 1 month old. Good, quite busy atm really. Thanks for asking!
Bro how much is jaw harp
The one in this demo is like 6 USD. The nicer ones from Glazyrin are like 30-80 or so. They are stainless steel tho 👀 u can get one on theharpery.com (US) or oberton.pro or shamanic.ru (RU, intl.)
Hallo mein freund from Russia🇷🇺👍
Hallo! Love your profile pic. Midjourney?
@@SnaptoGrid Yes) 😂Sometimes
I put my lips over my teeth and Then „bite“ on it …
You are so handsome hehe
Thanks. 🕺🏿
Can you play the Jew's harp if you have dentures?
I am not a dentist, but I don't see why not!
You're not biting overly hard, and the vibration is stimulation for the surrounding tissue, which can only be a positive.
what if u have no teeth?
@@philwragg9529 It works the same, the sound just won't be quite as crisp/sharp. 😇
what if you have no teeth?
Do jaw harp players get chick's?
Nope, they do get chicks whenever they want however.
