The mouth harp, also referred to as the Jew's harp on Earth, was a type of pocket-sized instrument found in the Realms.[1]

Description[]

This instrument was characterized by a two-pronged, bottle-shaped frame with a metal tongue that was affixed at one end of its base. This tongue would be held between the teeth of a musician and allowed them to alter the sound produced by their mouth cavity.[2]
