Description

Loud, vociferous, with the most saturated, fat and crackling sound, a harp, differing in style from most traditional Yakut khomuses. The timbre contains everything that can be placed there and even more, and it sounds all at once. Already a weak touch generates a sound of this type, triggering the delight of beginners or playing special effects; The knee of the tongue is quite large and further increases the degree of simplicity of producing a loud sound breaking through any barriers. With a reverse impact, the timbre, which initially is not clean, becomes even more mechanical due to the sharp prism. Mechanics also leave much to be desired - the khomus is convenient only for one-sided blows.
