4.0 out of 5 stars Had to modify mine to get it to work, October 13, 2008

I hope this helps those having trouble:
My harp was nearly silent no matter how hard I tried to get a nice sound out of it. I played one as a kid so I knew how it was supposed to work and sound.
It turns out that the gap between the prongs was way too wide. I put the harp in a vice and squeezed it down so that the tongue (twanger) had just enough room to vibrate without hitting the arms/prongs (rougly a 1mm gap on either side). Now it sounds really great. If yours is quiet, maybe give this a try before throwing it away - good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars These are the best commercial harps, September 10, 2005

The Snoopy harps are by far the best commercially-made harps, both for sound quality and durability. They beat the dime-store dipped-in-paint ones by a long shot, though those do tend to have a wider selection in tone.

If you're new to harping, buy one of these as your first harp, but once you get familiar with it, consider one of the hand-made ones by Bill Gohring [...] they come pre-tuned to whatever you request, and I've had mine now for almost 10 years and it's never broken. Even the Snoopy harp gave up the ghost after 2-3 (but, hey, $6!). Also, ask him if he still has the bamboo harps -- they're a definite challenge to play, but what fun!

This was my first jaw harp to purchase and has been working just fine for a few years now.

Very nice, especially at this price!
