Description

A well-balanced jaw harp contains an optimal set of qualities that make it a instrument for every day. The timbre is colorful and not too crackling - simple single sounds come out beautiful, and overtones are distinctly different. The stiffness and geometry of the reed provide a comfortable playing for both beginners and experienced players with a penchant for strong kicks. After each stroke, there is a weak background and springy backlashes; when struck from themselves, they are more noticeable. You can play quietly and loudly - small gaps provide high sensitivity, for a full sound, a light touch is enough.
