Welcome to the
Jew's Harp Guild
Pictorial Archive


We are an organization dedicated to preserving the history and art of this, and other, ancient, unique, or culturally significant acoustic instruments.

Towards that end, we are developing a pictorial archive and database of these unique instruments. In the months and years ahead we hope to create the most comprehensive archive of this kind in the world.

We hope you will join us in this effort and send us pictures, audio clips and information of your important finds.

Notes:

  • A few records are missing, and some pictures did not scan well enough to enter
  • Use your browser to open hyperlinks in a "new window" as we suggest using this
    feature to view the pictures because the records form is a bit slow to reload.
    Otherwise use your browser "Back" button to return to the records form after
    viewing each picture.
  • Information on the record forms is provided by the item owner and is hopefully
    correct. Please inform us if you consider any information in error and we will
    do our best to research and correct it.
