Khohlov's Temir-Khomus

Rustam Khokhlov, another jaw harp manufacturer in Vladislav Kokov’s workshop, makes almost the same instruments as Tamir Khomatov. Characteristic features of the "instrument" - blue-green bluing, strongly bent reed and a long soft reed trigger, giving rise to a sound so dirty that it ceases to be a drawback and becomes a feature. The difference between the models, including different masters, lies in the appearance and length of the reed - respectively, and different pitches of sound. The location of a particular jaw harp relative to others can be determined by looking at the range of the base frequency spread indicated in the parameters. Fully use the Temir-Khomus of Khokhlov can only be in the role of publisher of loud sound with strokes in one direction, or if you do not pay attention to the increasing, with increased intensity of strokes, dirt and lack of accurate control. The "unusualities" of the stratified sound and the ability to hum on the jaw harp without hitting the reed, so liked by beginners, brought not only the distinguishability of overtones, but also the time of attenuation with dynamics.
