Description

The sound of the jews harp corresponds to its appearance - it is straightforward in the locomotive style and abounds with mechanical shades. The frame is wide and not the most comfortable. Like all Vietnamese arc-shaped models, this one is minimally playable: the gaps are large and there are almost no overtones, the dynamics are small, the control is low, there is a lot of rattling in the sound. Simple, loud sounds on such an instrument produced easily, but this all that can be done. The knee are often broken off, and they themselves are displaced due to poor build quality. Cases in the kit are made from a raw tree and eventually crack and ripen.
