Description

The Altai komus, who became famous for the ratio of price and quality, appeared a worthy competitor in the category of inexpensive jaw harps - a modern Tatar kubyz. The new shape, ease of manufacture and optimal design and selection of material provide the instrument with high acoustic characteristics. The main difference from the "Altaians" is a slightly greater elasticity of the reed, which allows you to play more intensively, while the case of a thick rod is less prone to deformation and can be safely used by beginners.

The sound of the Tatar kubyz is not as embossed as that of the Potkin models, but is stronger and more dynamic than that of any komus.

A great option for beginners, especially with a desire for active fast or percussion play. If you like a higher and smoother sound, you can also recommend it. steel-kubyz.
