    I've been playing for a few months and felt like I'd plateaued. This is exactly the technique I've been wondering about. Great video, gives me a new level of noise to work on! Thanks.

    I found a snoopy harp at an antique store and bought it on the spot. He sanitized it for me too. I had to get the pliars out and push the forks closer together and it works well. I subbed, im absolutely addicted to weird sounds and sbit. Thank you so much!

      Those ones a pretty basic with limited sound. A huge upgrade but without costing too much would be the glazyrin lighthouse harp.

      @@greatestytcommentator The $10 ones are exactly the options that you do NOT want to buy. They don't make much sound and will likely chip your teeth. You have to go for those that are at least $25 in order to get something that is halfway good and safe to play. Going for the $50 options will be the best choice to get something of actual good quality when it comes to the sound that you get out of it.

      All has to do with the sound you're looking for and the type of sounds/rhythms you're going after. The glazyrin lighthouse is an amazing harp for the price point. Small, easy to play, big sound and good base. But first think about what type of playing & sounds you're looking for to guide you towards the right type of harp.

      You need to have your mouth open. Put your pinky finger in between your front teeth and keep that as the spacing for when you put the harp on your teeth. The metal reed needs to vibrate freely in/out of your mouth.
