Subject

von Hornbostel-Sachs Classification 121.221: idiophone--lamellaphone (or plucked idiophone; lamellae, i.e. elastic plaques, fixed at one end, are flexed and then released to return to their position of rest) in the form of a frame: single heteroglot guimbarde (trump, also known as jew's harp) that depends on the player's mouth cavity for resonance; a lamella is attached to a frame

Description

Harp comes with cover attached. Although commonly referred to as a Jew's Harp, the harp is unrelated to Judaism and actually originated in Asia. The instrument produces one pitch, using the player’s jaw and mouth as a resonator to produce different overtones. The harp is a lamellophone instrument, meaning the sound is produced by a vibrating plate.
