Good job guys! That is exactly what it is.
 It has many names but I have always known it as a Jews Harp. It was also the instrument Snoopy used whan he was jammin' with Woodstock. Too funny Chris!  Frampton and Walsh songs.  They used a talkbox but they have similiar sounds that's for sure. I haven't gotten my lip stuck in it yet, that sounds painful.
