Description

Maultrommel with saturated timbre, high sensitivity and special shape of frame, yelding pressing it strictly to the front of teeth. There is no round or 45 degree surface to prevent frame movement in vertical direction and it should be fixed hardly with hand or lips. Instruments style is a typical "loud & rich" - no clean overtones but ease of producing special effects. All exemplars are tuned.
