Big Temir-Komuz Batyrkanov

This jaw harp of Bolotbek Batyrkanov is strikingly different from the usual Kyrgyz Temir-Komuzcommuzes in its size and mass. The sound and behavior of the instrument are very peculiar: the sound mixes heterogeneous components with the degree of harmony of the main tone floating from instance to instance. Clearly distinguishable pikes are especially 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.
