Sounds of the Yakut! A large steel Khomus by Shepelev of Yakutia with very consistent gaps.

Excellent Khomus from Yakutia with powerful clear sound. Musical as well as meditative applications. The reed is of medium stiffness and the volume is relatively loud especially when the harp is struck inward with force. Outward play is possible but gives a sound like an electronic instrument with distortion turned up. The trigger is well designed and flows smoothly during both slow mediative play, and also fast aggressive game. The Khomus responds well to a variety of technique/ The sustain is long making slow, soulful meditation sessions possible.

For those seeking powerful play. A harp of a different nature for those of a different nature. The Khomus comes supplied with a tip up necklace case of a softwood with very unique grain patterns. Quite an attractive piece that will be well suited for those seeking deep meditation or shamanic style play. These Shepelev are typically untuned and fall anywhere between A1 and B1.

Due to the handmade nature, appearance, sound, and case design may differ slightly from piece to piece.
