TreckTreck is Travel experience agency in Japan, introducing Insider tour like exploring Japanese real life and craftsmanship, connecting to creative people, places and businesses in all over Japan. Harmonicas may look like simple instruments but they can do much more than produce simple tunes. Experienced harmonica players can make natural sounds—barking dogs, meowing cats, mooing cows, and chirping birds—as well as crying babies! They also can reproduce mechanical noises, such as the sounds of a train whistling, chugging, and clacking on the track.
1) Price. Some of such jews harps are really good (or highly specialized and just do not have cheap analogs), but there is no any objective rating scale to assess jews harp quality, neither general one, nor for some single parameter, so everyone decides for himself whether it is viable to buy some certain instrument. As a rule, all like serious universal models, and the only questions left are the financial one and self-assurance (I am not a professional, do I really need an expensive one?”).
The Ainu people use only a handful number of instruments such as Jew's harp and harps that resemble Japanese harp, which itself signify the Ainu culture is extremely old. Their traditional clothes for dancing have unique patterns and their movements are derived from the movements of birds and other animals.
Congress in Yakutia, 1991 — Tyva, Sakha, Khakassia, Altai, Bashkortostan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Amur basin. And also to know more Jew's harp cultures, I've visited not only countries in Asia and Europe, but also different districts inside Japan. In addition to these spatial travels, I started temporal travels to visit excavated Jew's harps from different places — mainly in Asia. The oldest reliably dated bow-shaped iron Jew's harps are from two archaeological sites in Saitama prefecture, next to Tokyo. These are dated to the first half of 10th century AD, from the circumstances of the find1. On the other hand, one of the oldest lamellate harps made of bone is from Aimyrlyg XXXI, Tyva (2nd century BC), and now kept in the Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg (Tadagawa, 2016: 62-63)2.
This is perhaps the best place to have traditional Yakutian delicacies. They also serve European dishes. The interior is very nicely done, and the service is excellent. They do offer a very reasonably priced business lunch during the week. These are produced by a collective of percussion instruments that include the double-ended mridangam drum, the resonant tabla, and the continent's own version of the ‘jaw harp' - the morsing.

Descriptions of the Jew's harp up to the present are insufficient from the standpoint of physics. Therefore the author of the article indicates the need for a more exhaustive study of this instrument. By means of higher mathematics the series of overtones of the Jew's harp is calculated. The sound structure agrees closely with the measurements taken on the sonograph. Both methods confirm the assumption of the author that the series of the overtones of the Jew's harp is not a harmonic one, but it presents a non-harmonic distribution with rather scattered overtones. Therefore when playing on this instrument we do not produce individual overtones but we cause a vibration with a forced frequency only of that overtone which is the nearest to the resonance frequency of the oral cavaty. The frequency spectrum of the Jew's harp is continuous and reaches from 500 Hz to 1000 Hz. Besides the modulated frequency a bourdon with its fundamental frequency simultaneously vibrates.
It is known by many other names including mouth harp, Jew Harp, juice harp, Ozark harp, Ozark mouthpiece, trump, mouth harp, and guimbarde. It is possible that the name came from the French "Jeu-trompe", which meant toy trumpet, and is responsible for the references that sound like juice.
