Description

The small size of the kubyz of a pleasant appearance is quite soundy and creates a feeling of friendliness thanks to a very soft reed. His very thin reed trigger gives a lot of sounds at any strokes, and the working part is strongly bent from the plane of the frame arms, which gives a greasy, stratifying timbre. This type of jaw harp can appeal to beginners to zip on the jaw harp breath and often seems “unusual and interesting”, but about jaw harp nuances, accurate control of overtones and even timbre speech can not go. On the "dental" side of the frame arms there are no external bevels, leading to a specific setting of them on the teeth - strictly in front, which is quite inconvenient and makes you fix the frame with your lips. It's a very specific instrument.

See. Also the jaw harps of Verteletsky, Rybnikov.
