Quadruple Kou Xiang - Chinese Jaw Harp

The Kou Xiang is a unique multi-note jaw harp with a delicate, melodic sound. Unlike a traditional single-reed jaw harp, it features several thin metal reeds arranged together in a fan, with each reed producing a different complementary note.

What makes the Kou Xiang especially interesting is that it can be played with or without using the mouth as a resonator. The individual reeds can be plucked to create simple melodies, chords, and rhythmic patterns on their own. Bringing the instrument near the mouth allows you to use your breath and mouth cavity to shape, amplify, and add movement to the sound.

Its tone is soft, gentle, and intimate rather than loud or aggressive, making it especially enjoyable for quiet playing, relaxation, experimentation, and exploring melodic patterns.

Available with different numbers of reeds, each additional reed adds another note and expands the instrument's melodic possibilities while also increasing the complexity of playing.

A beautiful choice for players looking for something completely different from the traditional jaw harp - with multiple notes, delicate resonance, and a distinctly melodic character.
