Description

The handle pushed the boundaries of modern Khakass traditions of making jaw harp, offering a new type of sound - without the characteristic crack and high hardness of the reed. The timbre of the jaw harp already allows you to play at a new level and control the sound as you want the player, not the instrument itself, more clearly highlight overtones and use a wide palette of halftones. Execution of the instrument is budgetary; c First of all, it concerns gaps and scattering between different copies. According to the level of sensitivity, volume, hardness of the reed, piercing sound and tonality, "Ruachek" occupies a place between Altai komus Potkins and medium Tatar cubyses. At the same time, it differs from the latter in a more convenient form for holding. On the other hand, it can be said that he is quite It has successfully combined the qualities of these two, quite different, types. For those who like the “Altai” character of the sound, but want more speed and percussion variety, the “junior” Khakass jaw harp will be the ideal solution.
