Description

jaw harp with one of the softest reeds not only among the Tatar kubyz, but also among any other jaw harps has a pronounced voice and a very high sensitivity. The tone of the instrument is incredibly saturated with both low and high frequencies, thanks to which the sound itself is voluminous and colorful. Previously, this sound was the hallmark of the Khakass komus; Soft raised the bar even higher. The widest range and pliable reed contribute to the simplicity and clarity of breathing, but also introduce limitations - alternating strokes is not very convenient.
jaw harp provides an opportunity for anyone to get a beautiful sound from the first stroke and drive the air complex rhythms; the ratio of price and quality allows you to recommend it to beginners and collectors.
