Description

Potkin’s “large” jaw harp is 1.5 cm longer than the standard one, and the stiffness of the reed is increased proportionally so that the pitch of both variants is approximately the same. The accuracy of the assembly of a large one is much more modest - this is a coma with one of the largest gaps. The sound is quiet, the rustle of the finger and high sounds are strongly heard. If you do not pay attention to them, it is more convenient to play at a fast pace on this instrument than on a small, but by world standards, the general level remains low.
