Description

The relatively soft reed of this jaw harp with a frame of unusual shape with a light touch emits a thick, chirping, low sound. The instrument is obedient and responsive; a wide range allows you to operate both in the lower and upper registers with the same comfort. A very rigid frame with wide frame arms, located more in front of the teeth than between them, is practically incompressible and does not cause ringing. A simple and pleasant jaw harp for connoisseurs of moderate bass tones.
