Description

Jaw harp with small gaps, high sensitivity and dense timbre that, with the frame shape and size, fully meets the average statistical idea of what this instrument should be. The purity of sound, appreciated by the aesthetes, in the most cases is sacrificed to a joyous hoarse, especially with outwards strokes. Reed is quite convenient in any style. On average, the instrument is pretty lively and pleasant. It will give many hour of pleasure to any searchin fot "just a good jaw harp".
