Subject: jaws harps and dental health ?
finally got round to buying a set of different size Schwarz jaws harps
to learn on..

I want to get near the playing standard of this

http://www.highwindy.com/sounds/jawharp/jawharp.ram

David Holt [the only jaws harp audio clip i can find on internet]

.. possible problem is i've got a very healthy good looking natural set
of well looked after nearly half a century old front teeth..


will the regular playing of this metal instrument inevitably lead to damaged enamel..

is it an accepted widespread 'industrial injury' ???

I would prefere to accomplish this age old organic
origional 'filtered synthesiser' instrument the real way

rather than playing prefab multi-samples on a keyboard..


but, on the other hand the mrs dont want me to end up looking like a snaggy toothed old punk folkie
