This is a complex, diverse and anomalous musical instrument, technologically and culturally. The variety of shapes and materials within its original distribution area, Eurasia, raises questions about the nature and early history of the jew\u2019s harp. How can we understand the connection between the various forms, and their chronological significance? How do earlier theories match modern archaeological research? These questions concern both organology and archaeology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/musark.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/J-Harps-of-Bone-Wood-and-Metal.Kolltveit-2016.pdf\">Les artikkelen (pdf)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R.
