Beautiful tone, soft to play
With a solid wood body covered with Brass, this is a soft Harmonica, comfortable to the mouth when playing it. It does have an incredibly high volume to an harmonica (different from Fender harmonicas, you don't have to blow your lungs to play it) maintaining its beautiful tone.
It's nice to notice that this harmonica doesn't have only the regular tunings, but it also has "low F", "low E", "low D" and "high G" special tunings.
The sound of this harmonica is kept and preserved when recording with a good microphone (specifically for low and medium).
