We really like this high quality Bontempi chromatic harmonica because this one has a slider that gives you lots more notes that are easy to play - so it's great for beginners. It has an excellent far reaching clean sound.
Basically, there are 10 round holes to blow through and by pushing in the slider everything goes up a half note. Normally, inhaling and exhaling give different notes on harmonicas, so now multiply this by two and you get a grand total of 40 notes - just from ten holes! This way children only have to concentrate on moving up and down the holes and the slider gives the opportunity for lots of creativity - so it's an easy to play chromatic harmonica!
This chromatic harmonica has 40 reeds. It comes in a rubust attractive box with outer sleeve on top and is made from stainless steel.
