Description

Khomus with a clean, by Yakut standards, timbre. Mechanics is good - strokes in both direction giving nearly equal result and feeling, with small amount of trembling. Sensitivity is not highest and sound is slightly duff, but very accurate construction gives smooth and even background without extra loud overtones. Such base allows very comfortable play operating only low-middle part of spectrum - this is just enough.
