Features
Major Diatonic in F#
Purpose built for melody and chordal work, the Major Diatonic F# delivers a clear, bright voice that sits well in band mixes and solo playing alike. It responds quickly to both single note lines and rhythmic chord patterns, with stable intonation that helps developing players lock in with accompanists. The clearly marked key makes it simple to pick the right harp on stage or in lessons, and the familiar 10 hole layout is ideal for classic riffs, expressive bends and the styles most players start with.
Replaceable Reed Plates
This harmonica uses Lee Oskar’s modular system with replaceable reed plates, extending the life of the instrument and reducing long term costs. When reeds eventually wear through heavy practice or gigging, you can refresh the plates instead of replacing the whole harmonica. The precision made brass reeds are mounted for durability and accurate response, so you retain the same feel when fitting new plates. It is a practical, sustainable approach that keeps your favourite harp playing at its best.
Comfortable, Airtight Build
An ABS plastic comb resists moisture and swelling, helping the harmonica stay airtight and comfortable through long sessions. Smooth stainless steel cover plates feel secure in the hands and allow the instrument to project freely, while rounded edges reduce fatigue at the lips. The airtight construction supports clean bends and dynamic control, giving learners and advancing players a more forgiving platform to refine technique and tone without fighting air leaks.
Stage Ready and Easy to Maintain
Thoughtful details make this a dependable choice for rehearsals and live work. The key markings on the cover and case allow quick swaps between songs, and the screwed assembly enables straightforward cleaning and servicing. It comes supplied in a protective hard case that keeps dust and knocks at bay in school bags, gig bags or desk drawers. Consistent tuning across the range means it sits well with guitars, keyboards and backing tracks, supporting both structured tuition and informal jams.
