Bass Dan Moi special
The Dan Moi is the traditional jew's harp of the Vietnamese mountain people Hmong.
Hand-made by a small number of excellent local craftsmen, this brass instrument captivates even novices by being easily playable and having a brilliant sound, rich in overtones.
Playing the Bass Dan Moi is effortless and enjoyable. In contrast to other types of trumps, the Bass Dan Moi must not be pressed against ones teeth to produce its full and warm sound. Rather, the instrument is gently rested against the player's lips with one hand while the other plucks the tip of the reed softly.
Moreover, the Dan Moi affords players with an almost unlimited range of possibilities for the creation of sound effects since mouth and tongue are given a lot of freedom.
For example, you may try a simple echo effect by temporarily and rhythmically removing the Bass Dan Moi from your lips, or try a tremolo by moving the tip of your tongue inside your mouth while playing.
The Hmong craftsmen work the Bass Dan Moi so carefully that the slit between frame and reed is barely visible.
This ensures a wide variety of sounds, especially in the high ranges.
This Bass Dan Moi comes in a nice wooden case, so it's easy and save to carry.
