WELCOME TO THE
JEW'S HARP GUILD

We are a organization dedicated to preserving the
history and art of this, and other, ancient, unique,
or culturally significant acoustic instruments.

We hope this website will educate
and entertain you. 

The Jew's Harp is a small musical instrument
which is held against the teeth or lips, and plucked with the fingers. Its appearance in many cultures of the world, and ancient roots, attest to the magical essence of this simple instrument.
