Description

A new level of quality for electric jaw harps. This device is a universal electromagnetic drive for a standard jaw harp with an electronic control unit. It vibrates the reed with a constant amplitude, producing a smooth, buzzing sound that allows the player to articulate and breathe, giving the jaw harp an even more fantastic, electronic feel. It is compatible with many jaw harps with magnetic reeds and geometric characteristics compatible with the mounting hardware. The included screws allow for thicknesses up to 10 mm. The distance between the screws is 35 mm. It can be installed with either completely flat jaw harps (where the reed and the frame on the electromagnet side are in the same plane) or with a recessed reed—the electromagnet core can be extended using a spacer washer. Other custom mounting hardware is also available. The control unit sets the vibration phases—the desired frequency of the jaw harp's reed oscillations must be selected. The phase positioning and volume are also adjustable. It has a built-in battery for autonomous operation and a charge/discharge indicator. The device is rechargeable via USB. Included in the package: control unit, mount with detachable cable, USB-Type-C charging cable, spare screws, and a screwdriver.
