Huge reed elbow, unpolished ring, uneven gaps - all of this gives only sound volume, but timbre is not musical and lot of unharmonic overtones can be heard. Decorative jews harp for shamans only, for plain inwards striking. "Geneva Stop" is difers from other 2 similar models by increased reed hardness and higher sound pitch with shorter sustain.
