The jew's harp was one of the most popular instruments in the last millennium. This is our smallest model and is fitted with five tines mounted on a solid mahogany block. The sound of the instrument can be amplified by laying it on or sticking it onto a tabletop or the skin of a drum. A bright and clear f-minor triad is produced by plucking the tines with the thumbs.
