ᒪᖃᐃᑎᐅᑉ ᐃᕿᖅᐸᓘᖓ - Making the Arctic Thunder Jaw Harp

maqaitiup iqiqpaluunga or “Maqaiti’s Jaw Harp.”

My Arctic Thunder harp, a one-of-a-kind I made for my friend living in Iqaluit, NU. He was an early supporter of my harp making and said he wanted one before I even thought I could get good enough at making these for more than just pissing around in my garage. Fortunately, he just happened to be in Cambridge as part of a work trip layover and I was able to give it to him in person.

SUPER bassy, I think it’ll compliment his wife’s world-class throat singing.
