Valentinas Krulikovskis and Viaceslavas Lukjanovas are graduates of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theater. These two movie and theater actors currently work in Russian Drama Theater of Vilnius. Despite many roles they are acting, artists have a small, but really serious passion. It's jew's harp. Valentinas and Viaceslavas discovered this unique musical instrument two years ago and now their lives are unimaginable without it. This summer they presented their first experimental theatrical performance. It was an act where the sound of Jew's harps overlaps with futuristic oeuvre of Russian poet Velimir Chlebnikov.

In our culture, the Hmongs, this instrument was used during courtship with girls. Back in the mountains of Laos, houses were made of straw. If there was a girl you were interested in and knew her house, you'd go sit outside her by her room during the late night and use the jews harp to communicate with them. However, the way that we used them, we don't flick it in a technobeat like they do. You can actually speak with it by talking while its in our mouth but not using your vocal cords. They would do this and recite poetry to gain the girls attention. When the girl notices, they can whisper to each other through the walls afterwards.

I have also played it tripping out on mushrooms in some of the old prehistoric burial cairns in Scotland, a life changing experience! It sets up a perfect resonance, that I'm sure is not a coincidence. I have had many wonderful times with the jaws harp, and will play it until I move on.

Indeed our form teachers desk draw was probably half full of those that had been confiscated as a result of someone daring to sound one off in class...at least three were mine. But they were cheap enough to replace. Back then I think they cost about one shilling and sixpence pre -decimal UK money. I recall that one of the favorite songs they were used to accompany was an old Western song called The Runaway Train. Happy days!

Hyperventilation commonly results from long or loud playing with a stiff instrument that relies upon heavy, exagerrated breathing to generate a forced sustain. On the other hand useful sustain can be created using a lighter instrument where a controlled pattern in a natural unforced pattern of cyclic breathing may suffice. In a shamanistic context continuing hyperventilation is likely be seen as a necessary part of the experience, generating light headedness, dizziness and a high with visual effects.

It also helps to use a crystal prism to spread a rainbow on your wall to look at for a real natural reference to the perception of colour.

@@shisuiuchiha8596 ..At least Jeremy knows the correct name for this great little instrument..I have had mine since the mid 1960's..when it was used a lot on Country and Western music...so Jeremy is right in his thoughts straying to that type of music as in the Dollars trilogy!..When I was about ten years old,my Mother used to tell me stories about her family,how her Father had a Stradivarios violin,Uncle used to play the spoons,another Uncle played the Knackerbones,and another one played the Jaws Harp,only my Mother referred to it as a "Jews Harp",which was a common misnomer for it in those days...I was ten years old in 1954,and my Mother was referring to her family around the years 1920-on.. So this Harp isn't a new thing,it's ancient!..and very difficult to play..it's the feeling of Metal on your teeth..a virtual Electrolyte...like Aluminium foil touching your teeth...but you get used to it after a while! C n W music isn't music if there isn't a Jaws Harp twanging away...also think American Trucker's music!!

There were parts in the last piece that reminded me of Orthodox Christian church-bell ringing, and other parts that felt like modern dance music... I loved it! Very entertaining and informative talk; it had never occurred to me that instruments with "free reeds" (harmonica, accordion, melodian, etc) evolved from the jews harp.

The reason why I'm here is because I just received my two "kubing" (bamboo Jew's Harp) in the mail from Mindanao, Philippines, and I needed some pointers. I've always recognized the magical sounds a Jew's harp could produce, so when I found some for sale online, I got two.

The instrument is used in Norwegian folk music. Norways big music prize 'Spelemannsprisen' ('The music man's Prize = The Musician's Prize') is a giant Jaw's harp formed as a statue that is given to the winners.

I'm in awe of this music. Give me goosebump. It's quite a powerful piece. My cutlure is old with various inventions of musical instruments but this jaw's harps are unknown to me. It makes me appreciate the diversity of people and great minds all around the world and the music through time. Thank for bringing it back to the modern day. And you two have great sense of humor, which made the talk so entertaining while remained educative.
