Noteworthy

Nadishana is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and sound designer from Siberia, who creates his own unique and innovative approach to world fusion music - the creative synthesis of different musical traditions of the world on the basis of contemporary technologies. Most of the footage has been filmed in the summer of 2009 on the band's folk-expedition to Romania and the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine. In addition the film features a selection of the band's live perfomances from several Estonian music festivals.
Notes marked by 8--) are to be played one octave lower then it is written. This sign is convenient because you do not need to put lots of additional ledger lines. An incorrectly tuned harp harms the psyche, so the master needs to perform with a dozen conditions to make the instrument sound correctly. The master keeps in secret the way he tunes jew's harps.
Amazingly we have arrived at the very last portal of this dimension marked as Timeless by Mikuskovics Baum and called Same Source See. After listening to this I couldn't think of a better way to leave this album than with a track of this quality, one that includes the multi instrumentational armoury of Khomus, Quenacho, Mojave Flute, Sruti Box, and Parmupill. Add to that a timeless performance on harp from Baum and you find a piece that is so very pleasing to the ears, heart and soul.
The instrument goes by several names: Jew's harp, jaw harp, mouth harp or juice harp, and it's been in use since as early as the fourth century B.C., where a musician apparently playing it can be seen in a Chinese drawing. A sudden stop of the khomus tongue or making a short sound is a difficult but necessary method.
Olena Podluzhnaya Uutai, 31, was born in the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic in Russia to Ukranian parents. This Jew's Harp by Glazyrin is one of the best I have ever played in 4 decades of love affairs with this quirky instrument. The types of Jew's harps, the styles and manners of play may differ, but the Jew's players from Japan, Siberia, Austria, India, USA, Indonesia, Norway … they all speak the same language, the natural tone series.
It was a great experience to take part in the Symposium, and to know the background of the Tuvan Jew's harp culture by my own eyes. It was also my pleasure to meet the "old" friends again in Kyzyl. During the Symposium, Valentina Suzukei and I started to talk about a new project of releasing a CD of Tuvan Jew's harp music, but at that moment, it was just like a dream. Gennadii Chash, the teacher of mine, invited me to his place in Shagonaar after the Symposium, to give me the "continuation" of the lesson. It turned out that we were of the same age. It became an unforgettable experience for me.
Khomus was made of wood, bone, and iron. Among the wooden ones they know bamboo khomus of the Asian and African peoples. The northerners made khomus from bone, but the most widely used khomuses in the world are made from iron and copper. The Jew's Harp consists of a cast iron or steel frame and a tempered steel tongue. The tongue of the instrument lies between the jaws of the frame and is played by vibrating the tongue, which is done by striking or plucking, with the forefinger.
1500 Jew's harps were a common peddler's goods during the 16th century (as well as earlier and later). In Thailand, a Jew's harp, or hroong, made of brass or bamboo, was used in courtship. The instrument seems to have had a place in tribal cultures as well, with Assamese and Rajasthani women playing it for folk numbers, Sathavalli says.
I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains and actually took a Jaw Harp lessons when I was like 8 years old. My teacher would play banjo or harmonica when we would "duet". Edit: when I first started, I thought it was pronounced "juice" when people called it Jews.
