Session Steel Powerbender Harmonica (10-Hole Diatonic)

The Session Steel Powerbender is a 10-hole diatonic harmonica featuring a modified tuning that allows for draw bends across its entire three-octave range.

Features and Use

• Built with Seydel's PowerBender tuning, an alternative to standard Richter tuning that alters the scale to provide draw bends on all ten holes.
• Maintains familiar breathing patterns in channels one through five, where the blow note remains lower than the draw note.
• Replaces upper-octave blow bends and overdraws with draw bends, allowing each draw note to be bent down by at least a semitone.
• Supports phrasing in standard playing positions, including 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 11th, and 12th.
• Provides a quick response and low air consumption due to precision-cut channels in the reedplate.

Construction and Materials

• Equipped with durable, tuning-stable stainless steel reeds.
• Features an ABS comb with recessed German silver reedplates and a surrounding plastic lip.
• Designed with smooth, ergonomically shaped stainless steel coverplates to be gentle on lips and facial hair.
• Constructed to be fully corrosion-free, using stainless steel for the coverplates, screws, and rivets.

Who This Is For

• Designed for traditional and modern blues, country, and rock players seeking an alternative approach to standard diatonic phrasing.

Available Configurations

• Keys: Available in A, Bb, C, D, G, and Low F.
