This gorgeous Kohkin (Jaw Harp) made by a young master black smith does not only look amazingly, but it does sound so, too. The typically excellent quality of the reed's spring steel gives this Jaw Harp a precise playability that is even rare among the high-grade Yakutian Khomuses. The polished bright brass lies gently against the teeth.
A rare feature of this Jawharp is the center bar on its "eye" on which the master left lovingly his initial character "yama" (mountain) engraved. This bar has also the function to reinforce the tension of the frame to make this Jaw Harp to sound even better.
The sound of this precious piece is just perfect and the effects possibilities and harmonics are enormous.
