Ancient Jew’s harps found in Altai Mountains as musical instruments reappear after 1,700 years

Made from the splintered ribs of cows or horses, one is still capable of making music.

The musical finds were made by archeologists at two sites Chultukov Log 9 and Cheremshanka in Altai Republic.

Three of the Jew’s harps - also called jaw or mouth harps - from the first site were half-finished.

The other two from Cheremshanka were complete, and one is good enough to make music some 1,580-to-1,740 years after being manufactured by craftsmen in the Huns-Sarmatian period.

6th World Mouth Harp Festival of India • 9-11 Feb 2018 • Goa, India

The 6th World Mouth Harp Festival of India

Will be held on the 9th, 10th, & 11th of FEBRUARY, 2018

At Jungle Dance Cafe, on Temple Road in Arambol, Goa, India.

The World Mouth Harp Festival of India is a grassroots project conceived with a mission of establishing a platform for Mouth Harp players and musicians of any kind from countries worldwide to connect, share, teach, and perform. Showcasing the versatility of this instrument through a diversity of musical genres including presentations of both traditional and contemporary styles of playing, together with providing opportunities and inspiration for creative collaborations between musicians, the continuing vision of the World Mouth Harp Festival of India is to establish popular recognition for the Mouth Harp as a contemporary musical instrument in our society today.

Unlike commercial music festivals where artists are booked as entertainment and tickets are sold to the general public to cover necessary expenses, the conceptual core of the World Mouth Harp Festival of India is a community platform of skill-sharing and personal involvement. Everyone is invited to participate in this project, either by performing, teaching, organizing or simply attending, and each person is a contributor to the spirit of the festival in one way or another. Therefore, general admission to all concerts, workshops and presentations remain free of charge with no tickets for sale and no financial sponsors.
