'Steel Mountain' Jaw Harp
Crafted by blacksmith Vakhitov in Finland, this Tatar musical instrument, also known as a kubyz, offers exceptional performance for its class. Made from steel, it stands out as a finely built bent jaw harp that delivers impressive sound quality and responsiveness at an excellent value!
Its narrow gap gives the instrument a highly sensitive feel, rewarding precise technique with a rich, vibrant tone and a broad spectrum of overtones. The reed is carefully balanced to support both slower, expressive playing with lingering sustain and quicker rhythms with clean, controlled articulation. Players will also appreciate its even, balanced sound when struck in either direction.
Despite its strong tonal capabilities, this kubyz features a soft reed, keeping pressure on the teeth extremely light and allowing for a gentler, more comfortable playing experience. The result is an instrument that feels refined, responsive, and expressive in the hands of a focused player.
