Now if I can just get that other gentleman to play the Jewish harp.

It's Jew's Harp NOT Jewish harp. The name, however popular, has NOTHING to do with Jews or religion. Here is a YouTube video of one guy demonstrating how to to play it. It looks like an expensive toy when built with state-of-the-art (SOTA) technology. The source and trace of the original harps is a mystery.

My family was not poor (Dad was a career officer in the U.S. Air Force), but AFAIK we never owned, or seriously considered owning, a Jew's Harp. After I found one for sale in a full-page ad in the back of a pulp magazine, complete with a sketch of the device, I showed the ad to Mom. She showed me, as her child, how to "fake" one using a rubber comb wrapped with wax paper. Free. No Money Back required!

It tickled when I hummed on it, because of the wax paper vibrating against my lips. Back in those days, there was a mail-order company (Johnson-Johnson) that sold all sorts of "interesting" things such as X-Ray viewing glasses, itching powder, magic "snakes" that you lit with a match, and (of course) musical instruments like the Jew's Harp. I don't recall ever purchasing anything from them, but I do remember wanting to. Most visitors to the site would have to resort to the Internet... maybe even to The Cloud... to understand.

Okay okay I understand thank you I meant no offense. Maybe if I said do you know how copper wire was invented by fighting over a penny. but I didn't say that.
It's the ish part almost like kind of sort of resembles like childish I think you'll find my avatar under that definition. I only turned 21, 6 years ago. A lot of my elders have a problem with that. As you can plainy see on this site I came in this world wraped diapers I expect to go out in diapers big woop we're all going to go through it. And nothing I think my parents lie to me they always told me to never mingle with the help but the help here is pretty nice.
