Description

Loud jaw harp with simple, mechanical sound, but good handling and dynamics. In many instances, the unevenness of the main timbre becomes an insignificant nuance compared to the helicopter clapping of their curved reeds. If you do not pay attention to the complete absence of overtone aesthetics, then it is easy and comfortable to make loud, non-musical sounds.
