A "scacciapensieri" (small souvenir version from the early 80's), traditional instrument from Sicily. It's practically a Jew's Harp. The first sound is just the vibrating blade; second and third see the mouth and tongue moving to shape the sound. The long sequence and the final sounds also have breath goingh through and powering the sound, similarly to how the instrument should be played.
It's exactly the one on the left in this picture ( https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Scacciapensieri.jpg )
