Nepalese munchungs of this master are in all respects different from the works of their colleagues - these are manufacturing technologies, and appearance, and sound. First of all, it is worth paying attention to the great stiffness of the reed, which is also emphasized by its small length - in this regard, the jaw harp approaches Indian traditions. Unsharpened edges give smoothness of sound transitions, iridescence, purity of sound and ease of intonation by reducing sharpness, piercing and narrowing of the spectrum. The timbre of the instrument is smooth, without extraneous sounds and has to active articulation - the revitalization of sound with a constant change in the resonating frequency is especially noticeable in such types of jaw harps. In general, the design is stable, playing comfortably both slowly and very quickly.
