Лавка. Yakut Khomuses. Khomus by Prokopyev A. Y. (YKh4)

Origin Country: Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Yakutsk 

Reed length: 90 mm 

Rigidity: soft, average 

Material: steel 

Set: khomus + a wooden cover (closed) 

Description:  Khomuses by Prokopyev have a very elegant appearance and a pleasant melodic sound. Decks of the khomus strongly narrowed closer to the ends, which adds high overtones. Thanks to a well-balanced reed, the khomus has a rather long decay and is suitable for playing at any pace. In most of the khomuses by this master, the sound is symmetrical when bilateral beating. Sometimes there are instances with asymmetrical sound, but with proper skill this can be used as a "feature". 

Recommendations: beginners, continuings, professionals
