Metal Jew's harp, slightly rusty. The stem of the harp was held between the teeth and the thin metal spring was flicked to produce a sound. Pitch could be altered by using the throat or back of the tongue. Donated by Jack Taylor. It may have been purchased for his sister Ena. Jack used this instrument at home for personal entertainment.
