Altai Jew's Harp A.K Extended 7.8 cm Brass Mouth Harp with Soft Tongue and Deep Tone 65–80 Hz Golden Jew's Harp for Traditional Songs

The extended Jew's harp A.K is an Altai mouth harp, whose designation by the seller refers to the manufacturer Andrei Kozanchev. The frame has a golden hue and is made of brass, with an overall length of 7.8 cm. The longer tongue shifts the sound to a deeper pitch while remaining soft and responsive to plucking. The arms with a triangular profile have a large contact area for the teeth, making the Jew's harp comfortable to hold. The instrument follows the Altai tradition, where the Jew's harp accompanies folk songs, storytelling, and throat singing.

The seller states that this version has a tone frequency of 65–80 Hz and a tongue gap of 250–400 µm, making it one of the lowest tunings available. The deep and velvety foundation creates space for prominent overtones, which can be altered by the shape of the mouth, tongue movement, and breath. The sound is produced by plucking the bent end of the tongue with a finger, and the mouth serves as a resonator. According to the seller, the A.K model is particularly suited for long, slow traditional melodies, where the low tone stands out the most. Playing does not require sheet music or musical education.

The longer frame is easy to hold between the fingers, and the wide arms help maintain the instrument in a stable position while playing. The extended Jew's harp A.K is suitable for calm playing at home, during relaxation, meditation, and breathing exercises, as the long tones flow smoothly and pleasantly. However, it also performs well outdoors by the fire or during group play with friends. You will gradually discover how many shades of sound this small instrument offers.

Protect the brass frame from moisture and falls onto hard surfaces.

The extended Jew's harp A.K is a good choice for players seeking the deepest and softest sound. It is suitable for slow folk songs, overtone singing, relaxation, and playing for pleasure. Beginners will appreciate the comfortable arms, and the deep tuning will delight experienced musicians. Thanks to the soft tongue, each melody has a calm and full foundation.
