The Clackamore

The Clackamore is both a percussive and melody instrument. It is easy to play - simply hold it to your lips and tap with your fingers. This is all you need to do to play along and provide a percussive beat.
By forming the mouth into shapes akin to saying "E" and "O", and by opening and closing the throat, melodies from nursery rhymes to blue grass riffs can be playedAll musicians will enjoy the challenge of learning to play melodies with the Clackamire. By forming the mouth into shapes akin to saying "E" and "O", and by opening and closing the throat, melodies from nursery rhymes to blue grass rifts can be played. A cross between a jaw harp and spoons, it is one of the more unique, yet easy to play instruments. Position the Clackamore on your lips, just like a jaw harp, then play the hammer with rhythms like you would on a pair of spoons.
The Clackamore has been described as a "percussive jew's harp" and "a tool for listening to the shape of your mouth".
