Shadow Photo Contest Round 35: Mouth Harp

in #shadowphoto6 years ago

#shadowphotocontest is a fun contest initiated by @melinda010010. Theme this week is Musical Instruments.

I don’t know if many will know about this tiny musical instrument. it’s called a Jaw or Mouth Harp.

My father had mentioned it years ago and said his brother, Arthur, would crouch on the floor and play his Jaw Harp for hours. His playing would be interrupted when their mother would tell him to quit lying around and bring in some wood for the stove.

On the back of the package it’s called a mouth harp and gives the instructions on how to play.

I’ve had this tucked away in a drawer for years-can’t play a tune on it. :))

We plunked around on those as kids but probably were never doing it right. No one else has entered these! Thanks for entering!

Welcome Melinda. I wanted to enter the spoons but couldn’t find the instrument. Not much of an instrument- two spoons welded together. 😊
