Finally got my new jaw harp after thinking it might have been stopped at the border

One of my latest random ideas was to try learning the jaw harp....specifically the Siberian variety. Was not sure it would even arrive giving the politics between here and there right now.

Having fun with it.

But it also got me wondering. Who was the first person in Siberia who got the idea "Lets make an instrument that can literally freeze to your face." lol

@Matt85 Maybe after a bit of practice.

@ThomReidTheBlack 🤔do you mean jews harp

@smiler2012 Both are just a few of the many names for it.

Jew's harp is actually one of the sillier names since the origin of the instrument seems to be the Turkic tribes of Siberia.
I haven't used a jaw harp in ages, having sensitive teeth I have had trouble playing one since childhood.

@NativePortlander1970 So far no issues with my teeth. It is a bit of a weird sensation to feel and hear the sound basically vibrating in your skull. lol
@ThomReidTheBlack That it is.
