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.
