Jaw Harp Shubunov "Taiga"
Archived model (?)
|
Fans of the Yakutian traditions of making jaw harps will be pleasantly surprised by this model of the St. Petersburg master. "Taiga" not only follows them in a constructive way, but also offers a very light sound, high sensitivity and stability. The latter is achieved by a wide reed and a unique way of fixing it - at four points - which increases the overall strength and resistance to bending. The elastic reed has optimal stiffness for medium and fast play; with a "hard" strike on itself, the sound is most beautiful and slender. Special attention, as in all works of the master, deserves the finishing of the instrument - such a jaw harp can be worn as an ornament! The case for him, carved from a light, but with stone strength, African wood, is no less interesting. A great gift for connoisseurs of dynamic homuses who have not yet taken these instruments into their hands and for their beloved.
