One of the simplest musical instruments, which is mistakenly considered feminine and perhaps a little sad, as Andrej Sládkovič compared it to girl's sorrow in Detvan.


In Slovak folk music, it sounds so perfect, as if it was invented by the shepherd on the Slovak pastures. However, as Mr. Peter Sobota, who has admired and created the Jew’s harp (or Jaw harp) since childhood told us, this is not true.
Just as there is no need to believe that playing this instrument is difficult. Everyone can do it. Mr. Sobota even greeted us with the sound of Jew’s harp.
