Description

For those who like high tone. The "Baby" is easy in playing doromb (hungarian jaw harp), allows most of techniques, but suits the best mid speed playing. Large gaps (large by craftsman's opinion)allow player to start playing the "Baby" right out of box without spending time on "how to avoid common mistakes". But that leads to have less power comparing to the loudest jaw harps. Responsibility and control of the "Baby" are quite mature ;) but soft reed won't handle rough strokes.
