Description

This experimental khomus by a Yakut maker has two reeds at different pitches, determined by how each reed happened to turn out. You can try playing them separately, or forget restraint and imagine jumping into a Yakut sleigh behind two unruly horses, urging both on at once. There is a limiting factor, however: the wide gaps and frame geometry keep this khomus very quiet and muted.
