10330LF Orchestra S LF Harmonica, Seydel Sohne

Solo-tuned diatonic Harmonica with corrosion-free stainless steel reeds (orchestra-tuning), ergonomic covers and carmine red plastic comb.

The Orchestra S: We are excited to offer a ten-hole, solo-tuned harmonica (Orchestra-tuning)! As with the chromatic harmonica, all notes from the major scale are available throughout a two-and-a-half octave range.

he Session Steel accordions are an improvement on the successful Session models, with a new original design, superior durability, playability and fantastic sound.

The Orchestra-S offers even more! Typically, the root note is found in hole 1-blow. The Orchestra-S places the root note at hole 3-blow, and half of the lower octave is added to holes 1 and 2. Since many players miss some of the notes on the standard Richter-tuned diatonic harmonica in the lower register the Orchestra-S allows them to hit the missing notes without having to apply a bending technique. The root note of the diatonic major scale is marked on the coverplate - it starts in 3 blow. This makes the Orchestra-S an ideal soloing instrument; the ten-hole design makes the Orchestra-S compact enough to take your melodies anywhere!

The note layout is basically the same as that of a chromatic harmonica, making the Orchestra-S a great starting harmonica for learning to play a chromatic. The compact size combined with SEYDEL's durability makes the Orchestra-S a good choice for musical education in schools.

The Orchestra-S opens new possibilities to blues harmonica players by making it easy to play minor pieces (3rd position) with a sound similar to solos played on a chromatic, thanks to the solo-tuning. They will also appreciate the extended major scale in the lower register. The root note of the dominant chord is available in the hole 1-draw, making it similar to playing in 2nd position on a standard Richter-tuned harmonica.
