To have ideas and the gift to realise them creatively, even more so in such a detailed way, is simply admirable. With the Vargan Snake, another magnificent Jaw Harp example joins the existing extensive Glazyrin collection. And as detailed as the frame is designed, the sound of this beautiful instrument also reveals itself. Penetrating, clear, extremely precise in all modulation techniques, this Vargan is a real feast for the eyes and ears. The heavy frame lies nicely in the hand and is very well balanced with the tongue. Its vibration transfers only minimally to the head.

Russia is a country with a handful of jaw harp traditions: in Sakha/Yakutia, in the Altai, and in Tuva the Khomus (or Komus) is played; in Bashkortostan the Kubyz is known, and in Western Russia and in the big cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg one can hear the name Vargan. An overview.
