Innovative Non-Slider Principle

Direct Tone Response: Operates without a slider or valves to provide the immediate response of a Blues Harmonica.
Intuitive Operation: Semitones are reached simply by tilting the instrument down or up to access the corresponding holes on the double-row mouthpiece.
Mechanism-Free: Eliminates common issues such as stuck valves or jammed sliders for a virtually maintenance-free experience.
Airtight Design: The lack of a slider mechanism results in a very airtight construction for low air consumption.

Performance and Tone

Expanded Techniques: Allows for bending and overblow techniques typically limited to diatonic harmonicas.
Durable Reeds: Equipped with 48 tuning-stable stainless steel reeds for full, loud sound and durability.
Dynamic Expression: Offers new possibilities for musical expression and tonal color through alternatively playable tones.
Tuning Stability: Features equal temperament with concert pitch a' = 443 Hz.

Construction and Materials

Mouthpiece: Innovative CNC milled double-row halfmoon-shaped mouthpiece with 2 x 12 round holes.
Comb: Robust, high-precision CNC milled comb made of semi-transparent orange acrylic glass with optimized cells.
Cover Plates: Corrosion-free stainless steel cover plates.
Reed Plates: Tolerance-optimized German silver plates yield excellent flatness.
Moisture Resistance: Absolutely insensitive to moisture due to the valve-free design.

Configuration Options

Standard Tuning: Solo tuning (12x2 channels corresponding to three full octaves).
Key Options: Available in Standard Keys (A, Bb, C, D, G) and Low Keys (LC, LD, LE, LF).
Special Tuning: Orchestra tuning available for C Major.
