I got it from my brother. He refers to us harpheads/harp nerds as, “doingers.” We could also refer to it as an, “alien whistle,” as it seems pretty useful in contacting things from other dimensions. On a secondary note, I would love to see an article about cultures that use/used the harp in shamanic or other spiritual and/or meditative practice.
I like to call each harp by the its homeland name. My Morchang, Vargan, and Khomus need not always share a moniker.
Here in the UK, the term Jews harp was the only I had heard until recent years, in which jaw harp has come out of nowhere and taken over as the preferred title.
That said, my friends and I have and will always favour the name ‘boing’.
Doingeridoo. Love this article.
Let’s start a petition to change the name to doingeridoo 🤣
