Wimmer-Bades Pro Jaw Harp
The Wimmer-Bades Pro Jaw Harp is a tuned jaw harp crafted from stainless steel, available across a full chromatic range from C2 to D3. Its design prioritizes both accessibility for new players and reliable performance in ensemble or solo contexts, combining a practical grip with a taut reed that projects a clear, incisive tone.
Construction and Materials
Frame and reed are fashioned from stainless steel and heat-treated to develop a characteristic brown-red patina that echoes the appearance of traditionally forged metalwork. The tautness of the reed generates a loud and sharp sound with clean pitch definition across the chromatic range.
The instrument features a notably large grip area, which reduces fatigue during extended play and allows for secure, stable positioning in the mouth—a practical advantage for players still developing embouchure control.
Sound and Playability
The tuned reed produces a piercing, well-defined tone suited to both intimate practice and stage performance. The chromatic tuning across two octaves and a major third permits melodic work in a variety of musical contexts and keys, from folk traditions to contemporary world music exploration.
Handmade Heritage
This jaw harp is produced by hand in Upper Austria, within a family workshop that has maintained continuous production through twelve generations. The combination of traditional technique and consistent construction standards results in instruments that balance affordability with sonic integrity.
What's Included
- Protective transport blocks
- Quick-start guide
Getting Started
The wide grip and responsive reed make this model welcoming to newcomers, while the chromatic range and stage-worthy projection support musicians advancing beyond initial exploration. The included quick-start guide provides foundational orientation for first-time players.
Jaw harps remain central to Alpine folk traditions and have found renewed presence in contemporary world music ensembles and solo performance.
