key when ordering
Most Major Keys in stock - Ask about other keys. Hand-crafted in Hungary by veteran maker Zóltan Szilágyi whose long experience has led to the development of many models of 'harps, each with different qualities and tessitura. We stock the popular Black Fire family of 'harps in most common keys and consider these among the finest 'harps we've ever encountered. Triggers may be bent or balled with solder as the maker deems fit for the tuning of the instrument. Most often triggers are bent.

From Russia Altai Khomus by Paval Potkin with wooden case
US$ 27.00
ea. NEW LOWER PRICE (due to large purchase from the maker) From Russia
with love. This wonderful little brass and steel Altai Khomus by Paval Potkin is a joy
to play. The looped trigger allows very fast plucking in both directions and the round
frame is easy to grip. It has a smooth tone with no breath but copious harmonics appear
when punched with an exhale. Untuned (though
most are around an F#). Loud. Case style may vary.
US$ 27.00
ea. NEW LOWER PRICE (due to large purchase) This Altai Khomus by Vladimir Potkin has all the qualities of the Paval Potkin but with a smaller "handle." Since some folks have a preference for one or the other, we now stock both. Untuned. Loud. Case style may vary. |

Murchunga - From Nepal. Brass frame and steel reed or steel with steel. Hand forged and crafted. Untuned with a looped trigger for fast in-and-out playing. Great for percussive sounds. The reeds are not as stiff as the India trumps and the frames are much smaller. The reed through frame does nothing for the sound but makes them a lot easier to hold. The small brass is higher pitched We now have a pretty solid source for these! |

(Right in Pic) Mini Dan Moi (Bottom Pic) US$ 7.00 ea. w/decorated case We now have a solid source for these Dan Moi – Vietnamese Brass Hmong Harps – Made by a Hmong tribe of the northern mountains of Vietnam. Dan Moi means "Lip instrument," and is played against the lips instead of the teeth. It gives a rewarding sound, full of brilliant harmonics. Untuned. Curled brass, much lighter gauge than the Chong Moua Lee design. It is easy to play, but fragile and must be treated with care. Bass Dan Moi - Similar to the Dan Moi but slightly larger, made of heavier gauge brass. Gives full, rich lower tone. Untuned.Mini Dan Moi - has a tenor pitch and great volumein a 3 inch long package.

US$ 15.00 ea.
3 pc set: w/case US$ 20.00 ea. 4 pc set w/case Similar to the Kou Xiang (aka HoHos) – But made in Vietnam – These magical sets are not particularly loud, nor are they tuned to specific pitch's. They are a lovely arrangement of sonorous pitch's which have a special way of being song-full. While not recommended for novice players, the experienced player, who can gently caress these wonders to life, will find great reward in these multi-pitched sets. The three leaf sets are typically higher pitched than the four leaf sets .

Cambodian Bamboo Jew's Harps
UNTUNED |
|
From Cambodia - We find these bamboo Jew's harps are easy to hold and may be longer lasting due to being made of thicker material than many other similar instruments. Held against the lips, they are easy to play and offer the same full, percussive sound as the "Kubings." Some are decorated, some are not. |

Karinding and Hoen Toong(Bamboo Trumps from Bali)
UNTUNED |
|
Handmade by Dikirim Dari, the Karinding (bottom) and Hoen Toong (top) are traditional instruments of Bali.
These easy to play instruments feature a percussive sound, full of tone, but
with short sustain as compared to a steel trump. Both are held against
the lips rather than the teeth. Excellent for the beginner. Undecorated. KUBINGS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE |
