Temir-kubyz "Ufa"

A fine combination of good sound and traditional design, with subtle signs of handcrafting. Its velvety timbre, clearly distinguishable overtones, high sensitivity and comfortable shape make it very approachable. It does require careful handling: the reed can be mechanically unstable on outward strokes and produce background noise. With sufficient finger control, however, this becomes easy to overlook, leaving plenty to enjoy.
