The SESSION Steel Wilde Rock, featuring a special tuning developed by harmonica rock star WILL WILDE.
An instrument specifically designed to deliver the really heavy sounds of rock and blues rock. Here’s how Will Wilde explains how he came up with this tuning:
"I designed the Wilde Rock Tuning specifically for playing hard rock and blues rock on the harmonica. Even though I love the Richter tuning, I always found it frustrating when I wanted to play rock-style guitar licks, especially in the upper octave. The Wilde Rock Tuning solves all the problems I had with the Richter tuning, while still retaining that bluesy feel in the 2nd position that all players know and love.
The traditional Richter tuning is primarily designed for playing major chords and the corresponding major scale in the first position. Wilde Rock Tuning, on the other hand, is specifically designed for playing the minor pentatonic and blues scales in the 2nd position across all three octaves!
I’ve always considered the sound of draw notes and draw bendings to be fuller than blow notes. Draw notes simply have more expression, a richer tone, and a more beautiful vibrato. With the Wilde Rock Tuning, I can bend all the draw notes, and the root note is a draw note across all three octaves.
In my opinion, the Wilde Rock Tuning is the configuration that every ambitious rock harmonica player has been waiting for!”
Thanks to its ergonomic shape and design that’s especially gentle on lips and beards, the SESSION Steel is the most popular harmonica for beginners. But professional players also highly value it, especially because of its internal reedplates and smooth tone.
- 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
- 100% corrosion-free thanks to the use of stainless steel for the reeds, coverplates, screws, rivets, and German silver reedplates
The ideal companion for everyday use and expressive blues, country, or rock - durable, with stable intonation, and exceptionally dynamic thanks to its stainless steel reeds. For all collectors and hobby designers, the SUMMER EDITION with a special design is available every year from April through September. You’ll also find plenty of personalization options in our Custom Shop.
