This instrument is known by many names. Most commonly it is referred to as a Jews Harp. Other terms used include Jaw Harp and Juice Harp.The Juice Harp is played by holding the instrument between the teeth and or lips. You then pluck the metal reed with your finger. This simple instrument gives you an amazing range of tones and pitches just by varying your mouth shape and degree of plucking. Many of us were first exposed to this instrument by the most famous of all Juice Harp Players, Snoopy! Snoopy even has his own signature model of Juice Harp.

 do not waste your money October 15, 2008

These are incredibly lame, even professionals cannot even get a sound out of them. Do not waste your money on these.
Yes they are cheap, look like any other mouth harp, but you won't get a sound of them.
spend $10 more and get something fantastic.
 Had to modify mine to get it to work October 14, 2008

I hope this helps those having trouble:
My harp was nearly silent no matter how hard I tried to get a nice sound out of it. I played one as a kid so I knew how it was supposed to work and sound.
It turns out that the gap between the prongs was way too wide. I put the harp in a vice and squeezed it down so that the tongue (twanger) had just enough room to vibrate without hitting the arms/prongs (rougly a 1mm gap on either side). Now it sounds really great. If yours is quiet, maybe give this a try before throwing it away - good luck!

I had a nice jaw harp that eventually broke. Bought one of these as a desperate replacement, big mistake. I wouldn't give this to my worst enemy. The tine (the thing you move to get sound) was unbearably stiff. It was like wrestling with a set of house keys trying to get any kind of sound out of this. You are better off getting a murchunga or a vietnamese jaw harp. They are easy to play, fairly loud and a variety of sweet sounds. You won't believe the difference.
 almost didn't buy this because of the reviews... April 23, 2008

when i first got this i looked up a how-to video on youtube--for the "complete instructions inside" were only a few incomplete sentences. i saw the person playing with ease and i couldn't manage to get one sound. later i picked it up again and after an hour was playing notes. i ain't a muscian so i can't validate the high-end musical accuracy of this, but i managed to figure this out and make correct noises and differentiate them with my lips and tongue. this obviously isn't for those who want something professional, but if you want to just get into the jew harp for some pocket change, i'd say this provides a lot of fun and cool sounds if you aren't a perfectionist or take yourself too seriously as a musician.
