1847 CLASSIC in PowerBender-Tuning – a new universal 10 hole diatonic for traditional and modern music styles.
The 1847 CLASSIC PowerBender, a harmonica, that impresses from innovation but nevertheless fits all traditional demands – a master’s instrument for maximum ambitions.
Super airtight design and SEYDEL’s unique Stainless Steel reeds.
The PowerBender tuning builds on the best parts of the traditional Richter Tuning, while altering the scale to make the real juicy and important notes much easier to obtain throughout the whole three octave range.
- Same familiar breathing pattern in the upper-middle registers. All draw notes bend everywhere, holes 1-10!
- On the un-valved version you can overblow every hole 1-10, for full chromatic playing.
- Overdraws and blow bends are no longer possible or needed on a PowerBender – they are replaced with simple draw bends.
- Top octave easy to play (intuitive) as many familiar phrasings can be adopted from the bottom octaves
- Easy to play in the common positions: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 11th, and 12th
If you’re interested in a fresh sound on the 10 hole diatonic, LOTS more bending expression and easy jazzy playing, the PowerBender is a good choice for you!
