The harp was found at an archeological site in the Altai Mountains, and is around 1,700 years old

The instrument was found at an archeological site in the Altai Mountains.

Also known as a jaw harp, the reed is placed in the performer’s mouth and plucked with the finger to produce the note.

The instrument – four inches in length – was made by a craftsman from the ribs of a cow or horse and dates from the time the nomadic Huns controlled southern Siberia 1,580-to-1,740 years ago.

Sounds like it should have been called a Huns Harp.
