Description

Nepalese jaw harp (Murchunga), made at a slightly higher level than souvenir options. Moderately large, but even gaps give a quiet, smooth sound in which the overtones emitted are clearly audible. Mechanically, the reed is convenient for strokes in any style. At a low cost - one of the most affordable arc-shaped jaw harps for practicing the skills of melodic play, with an emphasis on controlling the height of sounds.
