Cool Beans	Jews Harp banned? (63* d)	RE: Jews Harp banned?	19 Jun 14
As a Jew I have no problem with the term "Jew's harp" and thought it funny when I first saw them called "jaw harps" in a music store. If there's anything derogatory here it's calling a simple metal thingy a harp, but at least it requires plucking a metal band like a string. Unlike the mouth harp which is a wind instrument. Now there's a derogatory name that has been embraced by generations of players and thus lost its sting. Anyway, to paraphrase an old (American) advertisement for rye bread: You don't have to be Jewish to play the Jew's harp.
