Jaw Harp hath arriven, with a Gummi Bear bonus! The Jaw Harp is allegedly of DDR (East Germany prior to reunification) manufacture, but I see no markings confirming this.

Having never played a Jaw Harp, I'm confused. I've already realized it takes a feather-light touch, I can't just wail on the spring. I can hear faint sproingy stuff, and control the sproing somewhat, but it sounds nowhere near as loud as the THRUMMING in my skull. Aren't I supposed to be able to hear the sproingy sounds clearly?
