Description

Big jews harp with a moderately low sound and medium hardness reed. The gaps are large - the timbre is soft, but not to deafness, but without the super-high trembling; the spectrum is not wide. With excessive frame sqeezing, highs begin to appear, turning into a rustling chirring. From touching the finger, a light ring is formed; outwards stroke amplifies jitter, which is minimal - but presented - during inwards too. A good bass instrument for those who are accustomed to hold "oak" jews harps, strongly compressing them.
