Khomus Museum

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:02:28

Khomus (Jew’s harps) play a big part in Sakha culture – concerts occur year-round, when performers imitate natural sounds such as a horse neighing. The unexpected (and unfortunately soundtrack-free) Khomus Museum has a collection showcasing international Jew’s harp heroes from present and past. Ask the welcoming staff for a demonstration. You can also buy your own harp here (from R3000 to R5000) or purchase CDs.
