The R. Sleigh Overblow harmonica

This harp is built for precise controlled bending all over plus over-blows in holes 1, 4, 5, & 6 and over-draws in holes 7, 8, 9, & 10. This harmonica represents the highest level of customizing that I am able to do. Before I ship one of these harmonicas they have been tested, retuned, and tweaked up to a dozen times.  This combination of embossing and reed shaping is the most powerful harmonica conversion I make. The tuning is close to equal temperament with the thirds dropped just enough to smooth out the chords. If you have special requests for the temperament you can contact me when you order. $312.21 per harp.

• Rocket Amp Cover Plates are now the default cover plate for the overblow harmonica. These cover plates do not have vents on the sides, a detail that is favored by top overblow artists like Howard Levy. This closed off sides channel air in ways that reduce super high frequencies that can make overblows and over draws harsh sounding. 
  
• Black Acrylic combs – You can put these combs into an ultrasonic cleaner or immerse in hot water with dish soap to keep your axes “clean as a whistle” with none of the problems of wood. They also will not crack or shatter if they are dropped. They are polished on the face to a smooth luster that feels luxurious and easy to move around on.
• The reed plates are Hohner Marine Band Deluxe (the crossover is the same reed / slot combination) All edges smoothed off and corners rounded off for comfort.
• Assembled with five pozidrive screws ( 3 on reed plates, 2 on cover plates). You only need one pozidrive screwdriver to take this harp apart.
