Description
jaw harps of Leonid Galukhin are unique in terms of their manufacture; each of them is a wild beast born in the wild, who does not know the cage, urban dust, the blades of the lathe... instruments are made by the master in the field, at the stake, during archaeological expeditions around the world, sometimes lasting for months. Leonid always has a portable anvil, a minimum set of instruments and material.
Hearing such a story and looking at unsightly instruments, one can wonder if they even sound at all. Retrieval of the first, simplest sound positively answers this question - sound. The sound itself is not the most interesting, but quite loud and in the elasticity of the reed there is a certain confidence - you can continue and feel the jaw harp with all the "control tools". And after a few minutes, you realize that you have a really good instrument in your hands! With extraordinary ease, the sound goes in the right direction; it is not the sensitivity of gentle dorombs catching any half-movement and not overshadowing the melody of the voice of the Yakut homuses, but an amazing degree of separation of the different means of control of the instrument. A great tool for embodying the melody sounding in the player’s head into life, captivating with its simplicity!
