Description

Exquisite jaw harp of unusual shape, with a black matte coating with its appearance fully justifies the name - Black Magic. But not only the appearance attracts attention in it: the sound of this mondharp fades for a long time due to the low base frequency of oscillations; each shade, generously manifested when moving the muscles of the mouth and breathing, is beautiful in its own way and causes a desire to listen to it carefully; the playing does not require tension; in the timbre, low and high components are easily distinguished. Feelings from the playing - softness, lightness and slowness. However, the volume of the instrument and the dynamic range are low; the speed characteristics it also can not boast.
