Description

The usual model of Clayton Bailey's jaw harp is small in size and a reed tail protruding beyond the frame - it is made specifically for more comfortable holding. The reed itself is very soft and light; the sound is quiet and pale; the tonal range of the instrument is not wide, but with enough transitions to ensure a smooth change in sound when playing. Each jaw harp is tuned to a particular note.
