Mondharp "Double Movement"

Steven Stoop

This variant of double mondharp is quite easy to play; the two main tones - G3 and D4 - add to the sound of the magic inherent in Chinese multi-petaled Kou Xiang, thus enriching the already interesting, vibrating timbre of arc jaw harps.

Description

This variant of double mondharp is quite easy to play; the two main tones - G3 and D4 - add to the sound of the magic inherent in Chinese multi-petaled Kou Xiang, thus enriching the already interesting, vibrating timbre of arc jaw harps. You can play both on each reed separately and on two at the same time; this structure is positively different from sets of individual jaw harps, which are played only one way. The easiest way to strokes here is to flex the index finger on yourself or hit the tip of a slightly bent finger from yourself. As with all similar constructions with several parallel reeds, Double Motion is characterized by a very low volume and a weakened reaction to breathing. In general, it is a jaw harp with a unique, beautiful sound and expanded melodic capabilities.
