Jew's harps can do much more than the classic "doing" of foley artists in radio plays or animated films. The variety of sounds also means that the small instrument can perform on big stages time and time again, and trends such as Jew's harp techno are helping the "Jew's harp" to become more and more popular.

The jew's harp consists of a frame with a metal tongue attached to the side. When this tongue is made to vibrate, a sound is produced. In our online store we offer:
- Frame jew's harps, such as Dan Moi
- Hanger jew's harps, such as the Murchunga
The basic playing principle is the same for both types of jew's harp: the frame of the drum is held against the player's lips so that the resonance chamber of their oral cavity amplifies the vibration of the metal tongue. This produces the loud, characteristic sound.
Different tones and dynamics are produced using different playing techniques. The player works on the one hand by changing the size of the resonance chamber in the mouth and on the other by using different breathing techniques. In this way, the jew's harp creates a real sound experience!
