Giant Marranzano
Archived model (?)
|
A huge, heavy jaw harp makes you want to grab it with both hands; just one reed made of steel from 10 x 1.6 mm to 3 x 0.8 mm in size and weight will surpass many jaw harps entirely! Its mass, combined with great stiffness, provides very strong mechanical vibrations - you need to keep this unit carefully, without giving a chance to hit the teeth. This maranzano is made quite crudely; the gaps are large, there is no exact fine-tuning at all. The responsiveness of the "instrument" is small, the sound is deaf, like all pseudo-jaw harps. You can make sounds on it only by blinking and spitting away. The product of half a meter of bent valves called "Maranzano" can become both an interesting exhibit of the exhibition of wonders and a means of intimidating naughty children.
