Description

With its small size, coukin from the first sound demonstrates all seriousness: jaw harp is vocal, on the verge with piercing, with a colorful timbre and high sensitivity. The time of attenuation of sound is unexpectedly large for the height, and the mechanics in general does not cause any complaints. Quite a hard reed behaves well in any strokes, providing a wide dynamic range and at the same time smoothing sound (only with the strongest strokes appears sharpness and polluted timbre). Koukin responds very cleanly and distinctly to breathing. A good balance of all the properties of the instrument allows you to recommend it for the role of a high-tonality jaw harp for intense play - if you like the timbre, specific at high volume.
