Description

A small harp with a soft, thin and incredibly vociferous tongue. The sound is high and bright; the attenuation is smooth and quite long for this range. The timbre is saturated until buzzing, which is noticeable with weak strokes and smooth sounds, but with increasing intensity of articulation and stroke power it becomes less noticeable - in favor of different sound combinations. Even harmonic overtones sometimes breaking through it.
