Description

Low jaw harps with stunning mechanics for their range: the reeds do not emit any unnecessary sounds, the finger is always convenient and any strokes are applied with maximum comfort. The timbre is typical of the most bass instruments, intermittently clattering. "Night cicadas" are very obedient, perfectly controlled and easy both in play and in terms of holding - the margin of stiffness for compression at the frame is high.
