Goose bumps are guaranteed with this outstanding Jaw Harp from Tartakov! The sophisticated blacksmith's art can be recognised not only visually in the precise workmanship and the filigree ornamentation, but also acoustically. Their deep sound resonates mystically shamanic and takes you into the vastness of Siberia. The range of their overtones can be wonderfully modulated with the different breathing techniques. Players with a lot of empathy can explore the dimensions of this Khomus especially well.We all agree that the Khomus Tartakov Special comes very close to the ideal of the perfect Khomus. That's what happiness sounds like.
This Jaw Harp comes with a light wooden case.
In the province of Yakutia located in the far East of Russia the jaw harp is an instrument with national relevance. It is a symbol and an ambassador of that region. One of its refined artists goes by the name of Olena Podluzhnaya who uses the stage name UUTAi. DAN MOI met her in person and had a chat about the effects of jaw harp music to the human body.
Yesterday we had a visit from Yakutia, where the Jew's harp "Khomus" is the national musical instrument. After the Yakutian Jew's harp delegation had already visited our Ancient Trance Festival here in Taucha two weeks earlier, and as there was unfortunately not enough time for a visit to our Jew's harp paradise, they stopped by again on the way back from their concert tour.
On 15 February 2017 Spiridon Shishigin visited the project shop “Sinn und Sein” (Sense and Being) in Leipzig. About 30 fans and guests from the whole region gathered to see the world-famous jaw harp virtuoso from Yakutia in concert. A concert review.
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.
