Description

Yakut khomus with a fairly even sound when struck in both directions and a small gaps yelding the ease of making sounds. The instrument does not need to be clenched in a fist, like most of khomuses - the master has already done everything necessary. The timbre is pleasant and rich, but not reaching the "crackling" degree, which is a plus for conscious intonation. It is convenient to play on this khomus both quickly and slowly, although the knee is a bit long for difficult strokes. Extraneous sounds are poorly hearable and usage of the instrument is not limited to strong blows to yourself and a loud sound, often these very sounds are simply drowning. Solid universal jews harp.
