Description

Lao master Hoi Waj managed to combine in one instrument a fantastic sensitivity at the level of the most sensitive Vietnamese dan mine with the accuracy and accuracy of making the best arc-shaped jaw harps, creating a "kas" with a clear, clean and rich sound. Like all plate jaw harps, in principle, there are no extraneous “internal” sounds; from half-touching, the instrument emits a smooth and beautiful sound and changes it in response not even to movement, but to the very thought of such a thing. But such ease of play can also be a difficult factor - the kas pulls out the slightest error in management. A precision musical instrument.
