Description

Big, massive bass jaw harp with a deep, highly crackling timbre. Instrument has well balanced mechanics and acoustics, suitable for modern techno style. Tonal range is widest and any touch produces fat, colorful sound but it does not muffle itself - overtones are usable in good degree (but not perfect). Background humming, quickly fading out, is present with outwards striking. FC1111 is easy to use and friendly in relaxed usage; with raising of playing intensity requirements became higher too, providing the player with the broadest arsenal of sounds and complex positive emotions from its use in return. This jaw harp is reference of making accuracy - every one is created with absolute attention without chasing after quantity.
