BB776 "Big" Temir-Komuz
Archived model (?)
|
This jaw harp is strikingly different from the classic Kyrgyz Temir-Komuzcommuzes in its size and weight. The sound and behavior of the instrument leaves much to be desired: heterogeneous components are mixed in the timbre with a degree of disharmony floating from instance to instance. The obvious standouts are incredibly strong when struck from themselves. The accuracy of fitting the reed and gaps, and accordingly the sensitivity - average. To disperse the jaw harp with intense strokes and squeeze a rather large volume out of it, with a minimum of skill, is not difficult, but the aesthetics of the sound are absent as a class.
