These small brass Jaw Harps are tuned to a melodious unit. Each of the lamellas has its own keynote on which you can play several overtones/harmonics.
Traditionally there are lots of complex melodies for the Kou Xian. But it is also something like a „polyphone pocket synthesizer” for the experimental musician and of course a must for every Jaw Harp maniac.
The sound dimensions will blow up all your expectations.
Look out! Addictive!
All sets come with a case.
The Jawharps (lamellas) of the 2 pcs. set are a bit larger compared to the other sets. Therefore they are easier to play – best Kou Xian for beginners!
These authentic Kou Xian (Hoho) Jaw Harps of the Yi people from Yunnan, China are handmade and traditionally not accurately tuned. If you are looking for cleanly tuned (standard pitch A 440Hz) Kou Xian Jaw Harps or for other intervals have a look at our tuned Vietnamese Kou Xian range.
