Description

Balance is the main characteristic of this instrument of the Japanese master. The average coakin has a pleasant, soft and moderately embossed timbre and pitch, exciting and deep breathing on the one hand, and the upper frequency area on the other, almost without reaching piercing. When the reed moves with a small amplitude, the sound is as smooth and smooth as possible, with an increase in the effort, the timbre becomes more colorful and saturated. Play comfortably in any way - fast and slow, quiet and loud. We recommend connoisseurs of good instruments, in which the handle "color" is not twisted to the maximum.
