[Harp-L] SSCH-56 by Suzuki--new chord harmonica

[Gary Lehmann <gnarlyheman@xxxxxxxxx>]

>
> This new chord harp is built on the Sirius56 frame, although the parts are
> not identical, some are interchangeable. Silver mouth piece, phosphor
> bronze reeds, sounds great and fits in your pocket.
> Here is a link to the first spreadsheet I have created--it's not finished!
> But all the majors and minors are properly indicated.

> Holes 1-4, 5-8 and 9-12 are four note chords--the lowest note is Bb3.
> Holes 13 and 14 continue the pattern, so they are a two note E chord.
> Here is the spreadsheet of the layout.
>
> Just the one key for now--but you can play in all 12 keys on this little
> thing no problem. It is like no other harp--the model most people come up
> with to compare it to is the Chordomonica--but that unit was not chromatic
> in any way, this one totally is. Even the Chordomonica II, with two slides,
> only had 6 chords. This one has over 48--I haven't counted yet, but there's
> all 12 major and seventh chords, minor and minor seventh, augmented triads
> and diminished sevenths, and a real nice 7#11 by virtue of the fact that
> you can play two chords a major second apart at the same time.
>
> Winslow Yerxa stopped by and played it a little, and he was doing some
> tongue splits that got you very exotic voicings.
> Reaction at the SPAH convention was very good. We should have them late
> October here in the US.

> Thanks for your interest!
