Description

Jaw harp with such a beautiful frame look, producing a question - is it possible that all master's efforts are went to the design polishing? The answer is no. It is real instrument, very comfortable, though the acoustics is not perfect.Reed is stable and both directions pruducing the same sound; knee dangles not much and is quite comfortable with different strokes. Despite a moderate amount of wavy background sounds, the timbre looks even at the expense of muted highs and stretches very well, creating a feeling of musical melody. The volume and sensitivity are good, the average range of the instrument is quite easy to control.
