Лавка. Chinese Kou Xiangs. Kou Xiang, threefold (KB1)

Origin Country: Vietnam 

Petal length: 55 mm 

Length of a playing reed: 28-32 mm 

Rigidity: soft 

Material: brass 

Set: Kou Xiang + a wooden case (closed) 

Description:  Kou Xiangs differ from the majority of jaw harps first of all with that they consist at once of several jaw harps - petals.  Each petal is adjusted in a note in such a way that it is possible to strum melodies.  Thus Kou Xiang doesn't nestle on teeth or lips, and keeps near the slightly opened lips. 3-petal kou syan is the simplest in Russia, so we recommend starting with this model. It should be noted that Kou Xiang sounds quietly so it should be played at the microfone. 

Recommendations: continuing, professionals, collectors
