Very much so but not unheard of. Thunderground from Romania didn't shy away.

I am one of few humans who is completely proficient on the Jews Harp, and used to play this for a college rock band when they performed this song. It was great fun! Prog? Uh, no.

I'm curious of which bands will be mentioned in this thread. I've always liked unusual and rare instruments, so I'm looking forward getting to know about bands that use the Jews Harp.

There might be one on "The Lady Loves" by Barclay James Harvest.
