Description

jaw harps Litvinov are a sample of balance of all qualities, including sound - and at a high level of each of them. The sound is smooth and clean, the timbre is saturated exactly to such an extent that it would be beautiful and allow you to clearly highlight overtones. The quality of fitting the reed to the frame and its material provide a very wide range and ease of melodic play. The mechanics of the reed is close to ideal - it is convenient to do everything with it, although a barely noticeable sound appears when struck from yourself. The maximum volume is very high, and it depends linearly on the amplitude of the stroke, i.e. There are no explosive surprises. It is convenient to hold the jaw harp due to its size and shape, on the teeth it also keeps smooth and confident - frame arms, not narrow and not wide, are tough enough that you do not close with excessive diligence. Every instrument is tuned.

"70" - medium in height and stiffness jaw harps, singing and easy to handle, which can easily become the main instrument.
