Two keys, three octaves, endless possibilities – the SAMPLER
Why choose between playing melodies and accompanying with chords when you can have both in a single instrument? The SAMPLER opens up an entirely new way of playing the harmonica. It combines the intuitive playability of a diatonic solo harmonica with the versatility of a traditional double-sided harmonica, creating a truly unique playing experience.
Inside, the SAMPLER effectively contains two harmonicas in one. A smooth slide mechanism lets you switch instantly between two keys, while providing three full octaves in each tuning. This allows you to play expressive melodies, rich accompaniments, and explore new musical ideas—all without changing instruments. The half-valved design also enables expressive bends, opening up exciting new possibilities, especially for blues players. At the same time, our proven stainless-steel reeds deliver exceptionally fast response, outstanding dynamic range, and remarkable durability.
- two keys in one instrument (C/G or D/A)
- three full octaves in both tunings
