 Had to modify mine to get it to workOct 14, 2008
By R. Register

I hope this helps those having trouble:
My harp was nearly silent no matter how hard I tried to get a nice sound out of it. I played one as a kid so I knew how it was supposed to work and sound.
It turns out that the gap between the prongs was way too wide. I put the harp in a vice and squeezed it down so that the tongue (twanger) had just enough room to vibrate without hitting the arms/prongs (rougly a 1mm gap on either side). Now it sounds really great. If yours is quiet, maybe give this a try before throwing it away - good luck!

 Worthless product.Aug 22, 2008
By J. Eveland
I recently bought this item and it does not work. It looks nice, but doesn't play at all. I do not recommend this product to anyone.

Get your vice ready!!May 27, 2009
By J. Crowther
Most likely you'll receive this product and it will not work. Previously mentioned by R.Register below, YOU WILL NEED TO BEND THIS PIECE in a vice until the "twanger" has about 1mm of room to vibrate between the two ends. When adjusted correctly, and it's not hard to do, the harp seems to work fine.

Low qualityDec 17, 2008
By Marked141
I was interested in purchasing a second jaw-harp as a gift. The one I own was purchased elsewhere and has been very entertaining and even useful as an ice-breaker. The jaw-harp advertised by Musical Toys (shipped and sold by XUMP Science Toys) was however of poor quality and did not work as well as the one I currently play. I returned this particular jaw-harp and will look elsewhere for a higher quality instrument.
Not built to work at allMar 10, 2012
By Kdomme
The Jaw harp may look good in the picture... but as the brand name suggests it is simply a toy and is not built to work at all. The gap between the tongue and the legs is far to great to produce a sound. I used a vice on mine to attempt in achieving the correct amount of space on either side and I did get a sound out of it. But the sound is too short and takes much more breath than it ever should. You would save more time and pain by just spending a few more dollars for even the Snoopy brand Jaw harp. This was a regret of mine for purchasing this. I will not be getting anything from this brand anymore. You've been warned
