GroverJaw Harp (8037)

The only thing that should be taken note of is hand placement. If you have your fingers placed closer to the mouth area, it will make a metallic clanging sound; that being said, try to place fingers further back. If you're a beginner, be sure to have your lips covering your teeth because there is a chance of the metal bar hitting and chipping your teeth.

It barely functions, and it's incredibly hard to get any sort of tone with it. It's so large that it's almost painful to use (I am concerned I will eventually hurt myself if I continue to use this)Between the difficulty to use and the almost nonexistent tone, I wouldn't recommend this even for a beginner.On top of all that, it was pretty bent and out of shape when it arrived. It doesn't appear to have been damaged, but rather it seems like quality control is not even an afterthought for this company. I genuinely wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, and I'm rather upset that there are people/companies out there that would even attempt to sell this garbage to a customer.I really wonder how people sleep at night when they make their living ripping people off with inferior products. If any person saw this product before it was shipped, they'd have known right away that it wasn't functional. I'm thoroughly disgusted with the prevalence of these literal garbage products getting in the way of anyone being able to find something with reasonable quality.Even if you're a beginner, I would recommend to keep looking, this product is depressing, sad, and will suck all of the initiative and willpower to try something new right out of you. You'll be better off imagining your potential with no product than trying to learn or perform with this.

Ah, the Grover Jaw Harp – the delightful instrument that promised to unlock the music within me! Little did I know it was less "Mozart" and more "trying to communicate with extraterrestrial life using twangs and boings."Right out of the box, this little gem gleamed with potential. I mean, how hard could it be? Spoiler alert: Think Rubik's Cube, but for your mouth.For the first few days, I sounded like a confused frog with hiccups. Day 7? I think I accidentally summoned the spirit of an ancient jaw harp master who, I must say, seemed rather disappointed in my efforts. By day 14? Well, let's just say the local wildlife seems to have new opinions about my musical prowess.But amidst the sonic chaos, the jaw harp stayed strong, resilient, and ever so patient as I tested the boundaries of audible sound (and my neighbors' patience). It's built to last, and let's be honest, it's pretty forgiving for an instrument that has to put up with my, shall we say, "unique" playing style.In conclusion, if you're looking for an instrument that doubles as a party trick, conversation starter, and potential alien communication device, the Grover Jaw Harp has got your back. Just maybe keep a two-week buffer before any public performances (or longer, in my case).Would recommend? Heck yes! Especially for those eager to find out if their inner musician is more "maestro" or "may-stow that thing away." Either way, it's a twang-tastic time!

So I bought this before I did research and that's my fault. Not only does it not work well but this brand is also allegedly dangerous for breaking teeth. I couldn't get any, good, sound out of it but it looks nice on my shelf I suppose.

Good item, but not teriffic like the other reviews. It's made quite small for children's hands, and the volume of the sound is a bit low. Can be a great teaching tool for a child wanting to play a jaw harp. For the price, I am satisfied with the product. Try it, you can't lose.

This is the worst Jawharp money can buy the Read is too stiff and will break your tooth if you’re not careful and it does not produce much noise if you are not an expert do not buy

It works but NOT well. I bought 2 different jaw harps… glad I bought a different one for a little more money as I get a better feel for the sounds I can produce

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Thought I'd look cool, almost lost a tooth. You definitely have to bend this badboy to your size.
