The stiffness of the reed ranges from simply high (250) to extreme (450) – specifically for the steel hand style. The gaps are quite large - sensitivity is low, without special training to play hard - but on a poor background, overtones are better audible and there are practically no extraneous backlashes. jaw harp for the strong. And fingers.
