The jew's harp is an idiophone musical instrument, that is to say an instrument whose material itself produces the sound during an impact, either by an external instrument (such as a drumstick), or by another part of the instrument itself.
In the case of the jew's harp, it is the player's finger that produces the impact.
The jew's harp is made up of two elements. We first distinguish an armature (frame), of any shape which invariably ends in two parallel bars (arms) fairly close together.
Finally, there is a thin membrane (tongue), a few millimeters high, fixed to the frame by one of its ends, free on the other side and which passes between the two bars of the frame.
