Seydel Harmonica - 10301PB Session Steel PowerBender - SELECT KEY
|
|
|
|
The Seydel Session Steel PowerBender is a 10-hole diatonic harmonica employing Brendan Power's PowerBender tuning, with corrosion-free stainless steel reeds, ergonomic covers and plastic comb.
|
The SESSION STEEL PowerBender is the upgrade to our successful SESSION model now presented with a bold new look and superior technical reliability, excellent playability and a fantastic sound.
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.
- On the half-valved version, a mix of normal draw bends and valved blow bends gives full chromaticism. Brendan plays PowerBender half-valved, and recommends it!
- 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!
- ergonomic coverplates made of stainless steel, completely rounded at the mouthpiece
- ABS comb with recessed German Silver reedplates
- rivets and screws made of stainless steel
- lips and beard-friendly design
- minimal air consumption achieved by fine-cut reedplates, optimized flatness and extremely small tolerances between reed and reedplate
- stainless steel reeds provide the best clear and full sound and response of the 1847 models
- with convenient genuine leather pouch
The SESSION STEEL - Sounds stronger- lives longer
