MUARO "Wave" Jew's Harp - Russian Vargan by Glazyrin

I’ve only been learning to play mouth harps over the last few months so my experience and skills are from expert level, but this is a great instrument for its value. The wave is my third glazyrin with the first two being the Uranus and skiff, they all have distinct qualities and are precisely made.The small size is very similar to the skiff but the reeds and frame shapes are different, the skiff is one piece and the wave reed is screwed onto the frame. The reed feels more flexible than the skiff which allows for deeper tones and longer vibration time. The wave responds very well to percussives, hillbilly breathing, and open/close style. It has good resonance and a melodic sound but I had more trouble with the reed at first compared to my other glazyrins, it seems to require slightly more precise plucking to avoid striking the frame and teeth.Took a little more time to get comfortable with the wave compared to the skiff, but I’m enjoying its flexibility and range.

The media could not be loaded. Love this Jew Harp .. has excellent sound and tone … good for intermediate and advanced players … not a bad value for the price. 😎👍🏻

I have been playing inferior harps for 40 years and finally decided to pay for something better to see how it sounded in comparison. This thing sounds awesome! I can make sounds with this that I was unable to do with the old junk harps, things that I didn't realize were even possible. I still feel like it's pricey for what it is, but I can't complain too much. I won't be getting other harps of different tones at the price point.

It’s not a kazoo. It’s not a comb and paper. It’s not an easy to play harmonica. It’s gonna take some woodshedding to play. Hope I don’t chip my teeth.

I haven’t tried to play over if these in 60 years. And this is absolutely superior to the cheap one I had as a kid. This one is gripped a little differently than what YouTube videos show, but I like it. It is made very precisely and the more play with it, the better sounds and volume I’m getting out of it.My wife was even interested in learning to play it.

Though this Jew's Harp was a bit smaller than I expected, the smooth sound and ease of playing was the best in my collection of harps. It came with a small drawstring carry bag that was better for safe pocket transport than the clunky wood ones provided with some harps. For the money, this is an excellent investment.

It’s a cool piece and works well but it comes with an unmarked box and there’s no quality card or anything saying it’s from Siberia or anything like that. Would have been nice to have that included.

As a kid I always had a jaw harp. They were cheap, flimsy and never could really get any volume from those ones I had back then. This harp is far and away of better quality. It has tremendous volume and vibration time. You can tell this little harp was made with tender loving care.Thanks for making such a great product!
