Description

A typical Yakut jews harp, with a moderately hard tongue sharp and open sound and good sensitivity. The khomus, like all carefully crafted instruments, is well controlled by articulation, deep and light breathing, and behaves almost identically when striking in both directions. Between the specimens, a significant qualitative spread is observed. It can be recommended as a classic Yakut khomus and beginners for ease of use and potential for development, and experienced warrants for a very intense, shock game.
