The R. Sleigh Marine Band Deluxe

A free-breathing, easy bending harmonica set up for traditional blues, country, and folk music styles. This harp will cut the room with a lot less effort than an out of the box harmonica. The reeds and slots are carefully re-shaped to give you clear, natural sounding bent notes that “play like butter”. You can control these bent notes even at very low volume. The tuning my own recipe combining dropped thirds and perfect fifths  for super smooth chords and melody notes that sound in tune for fiddle tunes, etc. This harmonica will also respond well for over blows in holes 4, 5, and 6, and overdraws in 7, 8, 9, and 10 when used as passing notes. $232.24 per harp.

• Marine Band Deluxe Cover Plates 
  
• 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 seven pozidrive screws ( 3 on reed plates, 4 on cover plates). You only need one pozidrive screwdriver to take this harp apart.
