Grover Jaw Harp (3494)

Fun and easy to play. It's got a great sound. My fiancée finds it annoying, but everyone else likes it.

It's a nice, silly instrument.It's easy to learn, easy to use.I wouldn't recommend getting this if metallic tastes offend your Wellingtonian sensibilities or something. It goes on your teeth and the flavor of it is definitely getting in your mouth, no ifs ands or buts. I'm not gonna one-star this for you.The construction seems like it'll come apart at some point in the distant future. Might tack on another star if it holds up through a dozen or so road trips. You can make actual music with this with practice, but most of y'all are use this to drive your constituents up a wall...as am I.

I ordered 1 on these (Grover) and 1 of the Russian Jaw Harps. The Russian (Vargus, I wanna say?) is about 25 bucks but it is a MUCH higher quality. The Grover harp is playable, but the 'twanger' is too long, the bars are too long, thin and weak. You'll have a lot of off sounds and it's much more problematic to play. If you hold it too tight it won't play right, if you pluck it too hard it won't play right. The Russian harp is much more forgiving and much more sensitive to tonguing for a broader range of tones. The end result is the Grover is a cheap toy, the Russian more expensive ones are professional musical instruments that you will enjoy playing. If you seriously want to play, get the more expensive one, it's much easier to play and the tone quality is much, much better.

I got this for my husband, and he loves it! Super easy to learn with some YouTube videos, and is small but handy. You can take it anywhere, my husband has taken it to work and given a few people some performances. He’s enjoyed it, and I love when he plays it!

Works well and it easy to play once you spend some time with it. This harp has a low note. Im looking for a higher pitch.

This feels more like a toy than an instrument. Weak voice and not very forgiving.

I bought this item and found that it worked well for a good price. The constructions is good and it was not too difficult to learn to play. It was a nice size also, not too big or small. I have treated it harshly and it has not bent out of shape at all.

This is a rhythm instrument. One might even unofficially label this as a percussion instrument. You don't really play notes and songs on this; although, if you developed considerable skill with it, you may be able to sound out some simple melodies. It's not a harmonica afterall. This is for playing beats and rhythms.The tenor jaw harp is larger than the alto and soprano versions. It gives a slightly deeper tone than the other 2. It may be easier to hold for someone with larger hands. I've noticed Grover color codes these harps (tenor/blue, alto/red, soprano/green) which helps you grab the right one if your moving quickly during a jam session. They're all played the same way. These Grover harps are good quality but need to be cared for like any musical instrument.*Dry them off when your done playing.*Don't pluck too hard (Learn how to get the volume from your mouth and throat)*Store them somewhere that they won't get bent or crushed (not your pocket).
