 WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS
​DIATONIC CHORD MEDICAL HARMONICA?
  • Handmade by Seydel master craftsmen in the oldest harmonica factory in the world.

  • Durability and hygiene afforded by stainless steel reeds

  • Whereas the standard diatonic harmonica in the key of C allows the playing of 2 chords (C and G), the medical harmonica can play 8 chords (F, F7, C, C7, G, G7, D, D7) 

  • Lower pitch (7 semitones) then the key of C diatonic harmonica used in the original program. This provides more pulmonary challenge as more air is required and at the same time gives a richer more pleasing tone, especially for chording.

  • For those who advance in their playing ability, the medical harmonica can be played diatonically (with individual notes) as well as its main use as a chording instrument (multiple note playing).
