fitted with special wind saving valves. The precision crafted pearwood comb is optimized for superior reed response over its complete range, from the mellow low octave to the bright and clear top octave. Airtight construction and superior reed response give Hohner's standard chromatic harmonicas an unsurpassed sound quality. The quick, easy initiation of each individual tone makes them a favorite for players of all levels. Hohner Chromatic Harmonicas: Endless Potential For Expression Chromatic harmonicas provide complete 12-note octaves with all the sharps and flats. Each single hole contains four reeds; a blow reed and a draw reed for two natural notes, and a blow reed and a draw reed for two chromatic notes. The reeds for the chromatic notes are brought into operation by pushing a slide button on the side of the harmonica, closing off the air flow from one set of reeds and permitting the other reeds to vibrate. Most chromatics are solo tuned, which means each group of four single holes covers a complete octave. This design offers a wealth of new musical options to the player. Most commonly chromatic harmonicas are heard within the classical and jazz scenes, but often these harmonicas are used for blues, folk, rock and pop as well. Hohner harmonicas are the proven choice for both amateur and professional musicians for rock, pop, jazz, blues, folk, classical and beyond! For 150 years Hohner - the world's biggest manufacturer of harmonicas - has proudly maintained a tradition of high quality instrument making. Their mission is to offer a diverse range of models designed to meet the needs of every musician in today's musical climate. Tireless investment in research and development, combined with knowledge that has been cultivated for decades, insures high quality standards - both now and in the future. By working in close co-operation with the most renowned professional harmonica players, Hohner ensures that their instruments remain on the cutting edge of the industry. Hohner's state-of-the-art manufacturing process uses special alloys and precise stamping and milling tools to produce reeds of optimal sound quality, responsiveness and longevity. Hohner's long standing dedication to harmonica excellence has inspired a loyal following among players from all walks of life; young and old, amateur and professional.  (less)

Diatonic Harmonicas The reeds of Diatonic Harmonicas produce the notes of the scale to which they are tuned. For example, a diatonic harmonica tuned to the key of C would produce the natural notes of the C scale without sharps and flats (picture the white keys on a piano, without the black keys). Each hole has two reeds; one plays when breath is exhaled (blow) and the other when inhaled (draw). The individual reeds are each tuned to play a different note on the scale.
