The jaw harp is a small musical instrument that belongs to the idiophone family — it produces sound through its own vibrations, without the use of strings or membranes. The instrument is placed against the teeth or lips, and then its tongue is plucked, which starts to vibrate. The sound is amplified in the oral cavity. By changing the shape of the mouth, breathing, and the position of the tongue, you can create various timbres and melodies.
The sound of the jaw harp is very distinctive — a buzzing and droning reminiscent of electronic synthesizers or shamanic instruments. It is used in traditional folk music as well as modern experimental music.
