Russian jew's harp (vargan) "Shearwater hard" by Glazyrin. Astonishing.

Jew's harp ("vargan") from Russian master Dmitry Glazyrin. Simple, minimalist frame, hard spring, loud, intensive, rich sound. It is among loudest jew's harps in the world with maximal sensitivity and ease of "wow" sound producing. Suitable for rhythmic playing. The difference between first-generation jew's harps by Glazyrin is in reed hardness and, therefore, frequency: the harder is spring the higher is pitch. These models are the same in principle, listed in hardness/pitch order: Stormy Petrel / Black / Alpha / Shearwater (Stormy Petrel) hard . Magnum and Phantom are different story - sound is less intensive, bright and loud, but much more cleaner.

We ships as soon as possible and take all responsibility for the parcel until you hold it in hands.

Shipping Safety

Each instrument checked by professional before packaging. We make custom wood block for the instruments without special case - it gives good protection against dropping, stepping and even jumping on package. You can use it all time later too. Moreover, block with jew's harp is wrapped with soft pack material and taped - you will need a scissors to remove it.

Defects

We guarantee that shipped instrument will be free of any defects and will play as intended by its maker. But any good instruments requires proper handling - many owners of souvenir toys looking like jew's harp, with huge gaps and primitive sound, are used to squeeze it hardly with hand, teeth or lips. These toys even plays louder when squeezed - and such habit arises unconsciously. If your new, real jew's harp produces metallic clangs: 1) remove lips from the frame; 2) reduce force of pressing it to teeth; 3) do not squeeze frame in vertical direction with fingers; 4) strike with 90 degree direction to the frame plane - without up, down, left or right offset. For more detailed guideline, refer to " How to hold jew's harp properly "

But if you just don't like item received without any reason - we will make refund or replacement (excluding shipping cost). Our policy: Each jew's harp sold must play, not gather dust on the shelf!
