Description

Bigger version of standard Altay komus by Vladimir Potkin. The main practical difference is in lower sound pitch. All other features are the same as smaller komuses: big gaps, limiting sound spectre and volume; reed elbow making extraneous overtones. Decorative jew's harp for collectors.
