Description

Carefully made and beautifully looking Yakutian khomus; for the sound quality, the khomus is simultaneously a melodious and classically inaccurate in terms of purity of sound: a quiet but persistent vibrating background is present constantly, causing someone to feel "fullness", and someone - disharmony. The mechanics of the tongue leaves much to be desired - it is suitable only for uniform unilateral strikes - with the complication of the strokes, the number of different jitters increases. A stylish jaw harp for the basic use.
