Music.- Sketch of the Life (A) of C. Eulenstein, the celebrated performer on the Jew's Harps, first edition, engraved portrait frontispiece, errata slip at end, foxing and marginal staining, modern cloth with old paper label stuck to front cover, 8vo, James J. Welsh, 1833.⁂ A former pastry chef, Eulenstein was the most celebrated performer of the Jew's Harp of his time, although it had a severely detrimental affect on his teeth and forced him to give up the instrument and teach guitar instead. The Jew's Harp - neither Jewish in origin, nor a harp - is the ancestor of the mouth organ and is one of the oldest instruments in the world. It is believed the instrument derived it's name from 'Jaw's harp' or perhaps the French 'jeu-troupe' meaning toy trumpet.
