Details "ORCHESTRA S"
Solo Tuning in 10-hole size: the ORCHESTRA S is the perfect compact melodic instrument.
Play all the notes of the major scale over two and a half octaves in the familiar 10-hole format. But the ORCHESTRA S offers even more: Instead of starting with the root note, it begins a half-octave lower. Blues harmonicas tuned to Richter Tuning are missing some notes in the lower register that are available on the ORCHESTRA S. These can be played without having to “bend” them down using the bending technique. The root note of the major scale is marked on the coverplate - that’s where the major scale begins (3 blow).
This makes the ORCHESTRA S a compact melodic instrument that lets you take your favorite songs with you wherever you go. The note layout is the same as on chromatic harmonicas, making the ORCHESTRA S ideal for learning the concept of chromatic playing.
Blues harmonica players will also have a great time, as the ORCHESTRA S can be played beautifully in minor (3rd position) and sounds very similar to a chromatic harmonica due to its Solo Tuning. Extending the scale beyond the root note opens up great opportunities for improvisation across the entire blues progression (1 draw corresponds to the second position, i.e., the root of the dominant). In addition, all notes of the blues scale are present or can be reached through bending - ideal for soulful improvisations in minor keys.
- ergonomically shaped coverplates with a smooth design on all sides
- ABS comb with recessed reedplates and surrounding plastic lip - especially lip-/beardfriendly
- strong and mellow stainless steel sound thanks to the smooth coverplate geometry
- especially tuning stable and long-lasting reeds made of stainless steel
- quick response and low air consumption thanks to precision fine-cutting technology for the channels in the reedplate and an additional valve installed to improve the response of the draw tone in channel 2.
- 100% corrosion-free thanks to the use of stainless steel for the reeds, coverplates, screws, rivets, and German silver reedplates
