in the olden days, it was a very popular instrument,it has a sort of twangy sound ,my ole gramps played it and us kids used to dance around the kitchen,he played the spoons too,and made an old puppet dance on his knee.you're not being ignorant,its just not around much anymore.i betcha if you have an old grampa or a very old friend,they would know.i taught my grandboy,my g gramps taught us kids,its neat to pass things down.i have 2 so i put one on here. i actually won 2 of them on here,cuz i wont part with my old grampas,thats put away for my grandboy.:-) he's 9.

id hate to buy a used mouth harp....

to my knowledge every instrument can be cleaned,i bought a second hand trumpet,and that had a "used " mouth piece,i cleaned it,you dont put it IN your mouth dear,you just press it against your lips,anyone who knows how to play one knows this.

ooh I always thought they were juice harps hmm big fan of Bluegrass music myself and grew up around fellas playing all kinds of instruments, being from Kentucky I do do think maybe they call them juice harps here or maybe they just talk a little funny and I misunderstood lol

Jan 21st, 2013 at 12:26:00 AM PST by

lol.we have some jews in my family,also our rabbi who married us,i will have to ask,i never really dug into the history of these things,but have always had a musical family,but thanks,that was insightful. my great granny called it a jews harp,my uncle called it a juice harp,but to me,a jews harp makes more sense to me as it was david(a jew) who played the harp for king saul in biblical days,never know,:-)its even been called a jaw harp.lol.

so where on earth can I find one?....the bid is so high I can't get this one
would live to play one in the church praise team on Friday nights
