(valve is on outside of upper plate).This leads to better air-tightness of the instrument - bending notes are still playable!
Blues Harmonica with corrosion-free stainless steel reeds, ergonomic covers and plastic comb. Many special tunings available.
Natural Minor: this scale uses the same notes as the corresponding major scale, e.g. the A natural minor scale (ABCDEFGA) uses the same notes as the C major scale (CDEFGABC). All 3rds are minor thirds in this tuning so both chords (blow and draw) are minor chords. The minor mode sounds "sad" and all melodies played on this harmonica will automatically sound in minor. This tuning allows you to play minor tunes intuitively in first and in 2nd position. Attention: We label the Natural Minor according to 2 draw (2nd position).
Tip: You can try to play in the corresponding major key as well which starts in 3 draw (also called 11th position) - this position is a challenge to play on a Richter, but works perfect on the Natural Minor tuning variant!
The SESSION STEEL model is presented with a bold new look and superior
technical reliability, excellent playability and a fantastic sound.
