Description

Medium-level vargan with a solid construction, designed for a rough grip. At weak blows frankly there is no sensitivity, the spectrum is limited by low frequencies - the voice starts to erupt with increasing amplitude of the tongue's movement. Mechanically the tool is very convenient for any use; The sound looks clean and smooth because of limited highs, but to get depth and volume, you need to make a lot of effort and achieve this only at maximum volume.
