This jew’s harp, like “Petrel” and small “Alpha” is distinguished by hardness of the tongue. But in spite of this, this instrument maintains the sound for a long period of time. Cricket is quite a loud and expressive instrument due to the hardness and the length of its tongue. Playing this jew’s harp will be easy even for beginners, although, after listening to a recording of a melody played on it, one can have an impression that it is not.

Complex rhythms, interlaced lengths of sound waves — all of this creates a unique melody every time you play “Cricket”. Dynamic, sonorous and moderately stiff jew’s harp will not impede your enjoyment of a quiet and meditative play “for yourself”. By means of the extremely small gaps between the frame and the tongue of the jew’s harp, Dmitrii Glazyrin with his creative collective have attained an unbelievable sensitivity and responsiveness of this musical instrument.

Myrrh Resin (Commiphora Myrrha) (Yemen) (50 gr)

Ruslan — Sat, 14 Jan 2023 07:17:39 +0000

Scientific name: Commiphora myrrha

Aroma: Rich caramel scent with a touch of earthy notes.

Our myrrh is harvested wildly from some of the world’s most ancient Myrrh families in Yemen. Myrrh has a distinct, earthy aroma.

We’ve found it’s best to place a layer of salt over the charcoal to slow down the burning process and ensure the best smell from the resin.

Instructions for use:
Burn 1 block of charcoal briquettes with fire (blowtorch is better) until the entire surface of the charcoal emits white ash. Place a small piece of frankincense that will be used on the coals.
