Malaysia And Japan Joint Production Announcement Welcome To The Railworld Japan”

Jew's harp player and scholar Michael Wright has conducted an encyclopaedic survey of English-language sources to produce a compelling history of the instrument in Britain and Ireland. I should think that the method of keeping the khomus by a hand doesn't influence the quality of khomus sounding. It just should be comfortable for the executant itself. I also saw musicians who attached the khomus to a massive thing and played keeping the khomus for it. In this case it is not obligatory to press the khomus to your teeth. I am making an accent that ways of keeping the khomus do not influence the sound. In any case there is no much influence. The most important thing is to keep the khomus closely to teeth and nothing should bother reed vibration. Lips should clasp the cheeks.
The CD consists of two parts. The first one is mostly the result of collaborative work of Valentina Suzukei, PhD, one of the leading Tuvan ethnomusicologists and Tuvan khomus music specialists, with Leo Tadagawa, the Head of the Nihon Koukin Kyoukai (Japan Jew's Harp Association). The recordings of various types of khomus music, performed by the masters of different generations, were made in July 2010 in Kyzyl.
This traditional Yakut Khomus was forged by Alexandr Shepelev, a student of the legendary jaw harp master German Burcev. Shepelev invested a lot of time in the shiny polished frame and forged it cleanly, accurately and very stable. The sharpened reed is medium hard and quite long. Therefore a precise playing technique is needed to produce the shamanic-mystical sound. Especially with slow rhythms you can go on trance journeys and enjoy the jakutic sound. The Khomus Shepelev Large is a high-quality jaw harp that sounds loud and sharp.
After each visitor the jews harps are disinfected with certified medical equipment that provides full inactivation of all viruses known. When you receive a jews harp by post, we recommend first to slightly wash it with soap and water at least to remove the grease which could remain after long storaging.
I can't think of any Irish uses of the jaw harp—but I do know that young fiddler John McCusker featured it on at least one of his albums, and I have also heard it used by La Bottine Souriante and Le Vent Du Nord, traditional groups from Quebec. This note is for the person who has noticed that there are more names for the Jew's harp, but not mentioned in this list.
I observed a lot of times how they make khomuses. I tried twice. The first try took place a long time ago, with no instruments and of materials at hand. So it could sound, but I couldn't improvise. The second try took place in Japan during a craftsman Metsugi's master class of for children. There are master classes of making children khomuses in Tokio center of childhood creative work. It is an idea of widely known researcher of khomus music Leo Tadagava. Children and their parents during these classes make a small biabon for themselves. I tried to do it together with them, so I made a qualified for the first try Japan khomus. It takes pride of place in my collection.
If you remember as far back as Theme from S Express, that was me on the jews harp. Everyone thinks it was a synth all the way through, but it wasn't. I always carry a bag of stuff around on sessions, jews harps, spoons, ocarinas, piccolos and occasionally a saxophone.
The instrument has been dated to the first half of the 10th century, which makes it the oldest ever dug up in Japan, and according to the Japan Jew's Harp Association (because of course there is one) press release , the oldest dug up anywhere in the world. This is surprising, but I see no real reason to doubt them.
