Description

How simple the appearance of these jaw harps, so colorful and loud their sound. The timbre at the same time does not contain too large dips or protruding areas - except that the tremble at the tops typical of the most vocal instruments, and then not very pronounced. The spectrum is as wide as possible. There are practically no extraneous mechanical sounds - nothing hums and does not slap, as in "simple" jaw harps. Strikes are the same in both directions - mechanically the reed is very stable, although complex strokes require precision. Sensitivity is highest - the sound comes out from the half-touch. Playing Fedor Chuchalin's jaw harps is easy and pleasant.
