attached.\nThis tongue is made to vibrate at the free end by the player.\nThere are two main types of jew&#8217;s harp: Frame jew&#8217;s harps and hoop jew&#8217;s harps.\nIn the case of frame jew&#8217;s harps, the tongue is completely enclosed by the frame and is stimulated indirectly via a string at the end.\nStirrup jew&#8217;s harps are made of metal, the tip of the tongue protrudes from the frame and is struck directly with the finger.\nThe sound and pitch of the instrument held to the lips are influenced by the size of the oral cavity and breathing, allowing various overtones to be made audible.       <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e04d84b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e04d84b\"

harp belongs to the <a title=\"Zupfidiophone\" href=\"https:\/\/musiknerd.org\/en\/zupfidiophone\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>plucked idiophones<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.\nHowever, there are also arguments for classifying it as a free aerophone with a piercing reed.\nDespite its limited range, the Jew&#8217;s harp can be described as a drone instrument due to the various overtones that can be produced and the fundamental tone that is always present.\nIn folk music, it was increasingly replaced around 1900 by the harmonica, which also produces tones with percussive reeds, but only their fundamental tones.\nIn Central and North Asia, the name Jew&#8217;s harp is usually derived from the Turkish word &#8220;qopuz&#8221; or the Mongolian &#8220;chuur&#8221;.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66f8580 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"66f8580\"

bamboo.\nArchaeological finds document the spread of the Jew&#8217;s harp in Europe from the 13th century onwards.\nOne example is the stone sculpture of an angel playing the Jew&#8217;s harp in the choir loft of Exeter Cathedral from 1340.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8006896 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"8006896\"

Tannenberg Castle in Hesse, which was destroyed in 1399, a Jew&#8217;s harp was found that suggests an Asian model.\nSebastian Virdung shows a Jew&#8217;s harp in his &#8220;Musica getutscht und au\u00dfgezogen&#8221; from 1511, and Hans Burgkmayr&#8217;s woodcut series &#8220;Triumphzug des Kaisers Maximilian&#8221; from around 1515 depicts a court jester playing the Jew&#8217;s harp.

instrument experts also classify it as an aerophone.\nRegardless of the classification, the functional principle of the jew&#8217;s harp remains the same: a leaf spring is attached between the legs of a U-shaped frame as a spring tongue.\nThis spring tongue is vibrated by the finger.\nThe shape of the frame varies from region to region, but the basic principle remains the same.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6c4687 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c6c4687\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The pitch of the fundamental tone is essentially determined by the length, thickness, hardness and shape of the spring.\nThe width of the spring influences the torsional vibrations.\nA narrow distance between the spring and the bow improves the overtone content, which is decisive for the sound character of the jew&#8217;s harp.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa865ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"aa865ad\"

harps, where the tongue protrudes over the bracket and is plucked directly.\nFrame jew&#8217;s harps, on the other hand, have a tongue that is enclosed by a frame and is plucked indirectly.\nSoutheast Asian frame jew&#8217;s harps made of bamboo such as the Genggong in Bali and Lombok or the Karinding in western Java are examples of this type.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

placed lightly against the incisors, with the lips resting against the thighs.\nThe tongue vibrates in the oral cavity, which serves as a resonating body.\nBy varying the volume of the oral cavity and the geometry (similar to the vowel formation in &#8220;a-o-u-\u00f6-e-i&#8221;), a sound with different overtones and sound spectra is produced.\nThis tone is amplified by simultaneous blowing or sucking.\nMusicians often switch between several jew&#8217;s harps to extend the range of tones.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2f13e7

traditional instrument in the Alpine region from Hungary and Slovenia to France, Sardinia and Corsica.\nIn Austrian folk music, the use of several Jew&#8217;s harps tuned to the keynote allows them to be integrated into major-minor harmony.\nJohann Georg Albrechtsberger, Beethoven&#8217;s teacher, wrote seven concertos for Jew&#8217;s harp around 1765, which interpret the melodies and stylistic elements of contemporary Austrian folk music.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e81f278 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"
