Choose a jaw harp
Leonid Galukhin
Leonid Galukhin is a Siberian archaeologist and maker of forged jaw harps from Krasnoyarsk Krai. He began making khomuses around 2006. Galukhin served as deputy head of the Yeniseysk Archaeological Expedition and took part in research into the Yeniseysk fort, early urban burials and other archaeological sites in Siberia.
His archaeological work became closely intertwined with his craft, and he made some of his instruments during extended field seasons. Galukhin regarded jaw harp making as a continuing experiment, repeatedly revising his construction to produce a deeper sound, a stronger response to breathing and good melodic control.
The LG486 Jaw Harp preserved in the catalogue represents this experimental period of his work. Galukhin did not pursue standardisation, and individual instruments differed considerably. Their shared features included forged construction, stiff reeds and an absence of decorative polishing that left the marks of handwork visible.
