Description

A small jaw harp, easy to handle, with large but even gaps. Loudness and sensitivity are quite high, but there are no upper frequencies in the spectrum - which plays into the hand of the instrument's singularity. The sound is deaf compared to the more refined samples, but this deafness is warm, soft and pleasant.
