1847 CLASSIC with EASY THIRD tuning - very flexible alternative tuning for Irish folk, minor blues and melodies in major or minor keys

The next harmonica in your case? 

The highlights:

  • Many musical styles become intuitively playable: especially suited for Irish/Scottish folk, also perfect for funk, reggae, folk music, pop, jazz, minor blues and much more.
  • Ideal for fast, melody-oriented playing, in major or minor keys, without difficult bending notes that would restrict the playing flow.
  • Quick adaption due to strong relationship to Solo and Richter tuning.
  • Very expressive overall sound: a full-sounding minor draw chord and great-sounding double notes (fifths/octaves) open up new worlds of sound for every harmonica player.
  • “Chromatic Blues” in pocket-size (ideal for West Coast Swing and Minor Blues): The EASY THIRD combines the direct tone response of the blues harmonica with the full big band sound of the chromatic.
Just two notes difference create a whole new world of sound!

  • full sound thanks to 20 tuning-stable stainless steel reeds with a long service life
