Orchestra S Harmonica (Solo-Tuned Stainless Steel)

A solo-tuned diatonic harmonica featuring corrosion-free stainless steel reeds and orchestra-tuning.

Orchestra Tuning and Note Layout

• Expanded Tonal Range: Offers a two-and-a-half octave range with all notes from the major scale available.
• Root Note Placement: Places the root note at hole 3-blow, with half of the lower octave added to holes 1 and 2.
• Lower Register Access: Allows players to hit missing notes in the lower register without applying a bending technique.
• Chromatic-Style Layout: Note layout is basically the same as a chromatic harmonica, suitable for learning chromatic techniques.
• Visual Guide: The root note of the diatonic major scale is marked on the coverplate (starts in 3 blow).

Construction and Durability

• Premium Materials: Features anti-corrosive German-silver reed plates and stainless steel coverplates and screws.
• Comb Design: Lip-friendly, translucent carmine red plastic comb (ABS) with recessed reed plates.
• Included Accessories: Comes with a protective, full-grain leather pouch.

Performance Capabilities

• Soloing Instrument: Ten-hole design serves as an ideal soloing instrument compact enough for travel.
• Blues Applications: Opens possibilities for blues players to play minor pieces (3rd position) with a sound similar to chromatic solos.
• Improvisation: Offers access to all notes of the blues scale through natural and bent notes for soul and color.
