A massive jaw harp with a colorful, musical, and loud sound. The harmonic overtones are uniform in volume, allowing you to play (or learn) all the notes. The balance of richness and control is excellent—you can pick it up for the first time and simply enjoy any sound, or you can delight in playing complex melodies—few jaw harps allow for such a wide range of sound nuances. When played with a reverse stroke, there's a subtle background tone that can be easily ignored. The reed joint is short (as expected of a precision instrument) and requires a well-placed stroke for loud playing. Overall, this jaw harp is a real eye-catcher!
