This comprehensive package makes it a ready-to-play instrument for a range of musical styles, enhanced by the unique half-valved feature.

This harmonica is standard richter tuned and valves are added to make it easier for beginner and intermediate players to get more notes without using overbends. You can bend more notes on a half valved than on a standard harmonica (but you can’t overblow).

Valves are commonly used in chromatic harmonicas and they can also prove to be useful on a diatonic for players who know how to bend and prefer to use this traditional technique to get additional notes instead of trying the more modern approach of overbends.
Bending valved reeds also gives a different sound than bending standard reeds.

In the table below we can see a full diagram showing clearly what extra notes are available thanks to the added valves.
