Very very big jaw harp! Very low and resonant sound, a bit hard to play with a small mouth all the same... but very useful for slow or bassline compositions in combination with a higher-pitched jaw harp

An instrument that offers a lot of possibilities, even if using it is not always easy at first glance. A great investment.

Product a bit disappointing in terms of sound. The woodbrass service is still as efficient as ever.
