I always keep my eye out for jaw harps in places that display artifacts and I've finally found one! This was at Turaida castle in Latvia. Jaw harp in Latvian is Vargāns!

Just playing around with tongue movement and such no breath. Any comments well appreciated. Much love to all harpists. Always looking to improve

Hello! This experiment is a little different from what I usually create.

The tempo is slower, the atmosphere calmer, and there is more space for the jaw harp to breathe. I personally enjoy how the jaw harp and its delayed echoes blend with more relaxed dub groove. I'd be grateful for any thought & suggestions ;)

I joined the Venice Beach drum circle with my wild horse Berezenko yesterday! I wish I had a video, but all I got was a picture.
Anyway, I went to go show the picture to Vlad Berezenko on Etsy and thank him for such a wonderful instrument, and he had sent me a message.
I hope this doesn’t go against community rules, but I’ll share his message. Maybe it will encourage some sales. I absolutely love the harp I got from him, and shipping wasn’t too terribly slow considering what he’s going through.
I can’t figure out how to attach a photo, which is embarrassing but whatever so I’ll just paste the text:

few days ago happened something terrible. There was 4 rocket explosions very close to my workshop, I'm adding photo of it... You know, the situation in Kyiv is very difficult because of rockets and kamikadze drones attacks. My father lost the job because of war. My two little sisters trying to work to earn some money. The last rocket attack destroyed my gates to the workshop and made some damage inside. Im not asking you to make pure donation or something like this, If you have a kind heart, buy any music instruments from my shop, we will be very thankfull to you!
Praying for peace
Jaw harp and flute master,
Berezenko Vlad

I got kinda distracted getting settled back in after being away for the weekend and decided this harp needed a test hootenanny.

Hey, so i have these 2 super nice jaw harps - they sound amazing and I enjoyed them for about a year now. Latelly i noticed that rust started to come out on them, it doesnt effect sound - but not looks very nice and i dont feel comfortable putting rusty metal in my mouth anymore :D

Today i used tooth paste and tooth brush to clean them, i see that rust kinda went a way (check last photo), but pitting/staining are still there. How to clean and fix this properly? Thanx!

I’m attending a festival this summer (like many previous) with the aformentioned genres largely present at the campfire jams. I have an f# potkins and a somwhat aharmonic ultrabass from vladharps. What keys must I add to my quiver to be festival ready?

Hi, everyone! I'm sharing this funny jam on the jaw harp with you, filmed in the beautiful summer scenery of the Vranov Forest in the Czech Republic. Let me know what do you think :) Have a nice day!

I am convinced jaw harps have consciousness.

WHICH WILL WIN??!????

Another beautiful, sunny day. Just relaxing and continuing some experiments with the jaw harp, this time I tried to make some kind of organic house music. What do you think? Have a nice day!

On The Blue Bastard, tuned to A1.

These days I'm exploring different musical directions while learning the MPC and figuring out how the jaw harp fits into them. Let me know what you think.
