The Vargan Spark forged master blacksmith Sysyuk in Transbaikalia. The appearance and shape of this small, blued Jaw Harp reminds us of Vargans from the Altai, whereby the accurate workmanship, the beautiful finish and the crisp sound convince us even more. A recommendable Jaw Harp with a very good price/performance ratio.
The creative and beautifully crafted wooden box is included.
By the way: Mikhail Sysyuk, who studied linguistics and is a master blacksmith, learned to love metal in a car workshop where he worked for a long time before his studies. Today he lives more than 1,000 km east of Irkutsk in the very small town of Darassun, where he handles the steel for his Jaw Harps with passion and precision.
Although he became enthusiastic about Jaw Harps and especially Gotovtsev's Yakutian Khomus quite early, he did not make his first Jaw Harp until he was almost 30 years old. At first, he made them only sporadically and sold them in a handicrafts shop in the nearest city, Chita. It was not until 2016 that the Jaw Harp world became aware of his excellent Vargans, during a Jaw Harp competition in Moscow. Since then, Sysyuk's Jaw Harps have enjoyed great popularity and are the talk of the town in Russia. And we are happy that we have these wonderful Vargans in our assortment.
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.
