Description

The long and weighty jaw harp has a sound that matches its size - low and deep. At the same time, the "Lider 120" is perfectly controlled and is practically devoid of mechanical overtones - the timbre is clear, although crackling, like all bass jaw harps with relatively small gaps. Without the participation of breathing, the articulation with high overtones works very clearly (for such a height of instruments, which are often muffled); when connected, its range sharply expands downwards. With medium and strong amplitude of blows, high precision of their application is required - the 120 mm tongue makes itself felt. In general, this is a gorgeous low jaw harp.
