Release of the IJHS NEWSLETTER

Release of the IJHS NEWSLETTER

 

The International jew's harp Society is proud to announce the first issue of its new NEWSLETTER series.

From November 2023, the new IJHS newsletter series is called BOING. It is edited by Áron Szilágyi, who has redesigned the layout. 

BOING aims to disseminate quality information on all matters relating to the jew's harp worldwide. 

For the record, between 2003 and 2012, the IJHS published 14 newsletters. Since issue 5, they have been edited by Michael Wright.

After a hiatus, the IJHS committee has decided to relaunch a newsletter which should appear twice a year.
