Description

This khomus specializes in lower frequencies. The high parts of the spectrum, while present enough to provide a wide range of sounds, are muted, leaving the bass in focus. The instrument is perfectly controlled, the sound is felt at the level of mechanical vibrations of the air; when playing with active switching between the initial harmonics, an image of juggling elastic balloons that have a two-way connection with the reed appears. A good jaw harp with soft and deep bass and clear tops.
