Description: This is a high-frequency harp, it is compact and light. It willingly interacts with breathing and articulation. Due to the small size and medium rigidity of the reed, sustain is not the longest, but it is well prolonged by a long breath, or by breathing in both directions when playing. It is symmetrical in a bilateral beat. With other different techniques and experiments, the accuracy of the beat should be observed, otherwise the reed can catch the frame. The overall picture of the instrument is very pleasant - the harp is well saturated with high overtones, quite accommodating, although it does not like a very familiar attitude.
