Description

Keys G, A, Bb, C and D with practical gig bag. Will Wilde Rock Harmonica Tuning SEYDEL Endorser Will Wilde is the inventor of this special tuning, which is particularly suitable for the harder style of rock and blues rock music. Read here how Will Wilde came up with this tuning, which he has been using regularly for a few years: ''''I designed the ''''Wilde tuning'''' specifically for playing hard rock and blues rock on the harmonica. Even though I love the standard Richter tuning, I always found it frustrating when I wanted to play "rock guitar"-like licks, especially in the upper octave. The ''''Wilde tuning'''' fixes all the problems I had on the Richter while still maintaining the bluesy 2nd position feel that all players know and love. While the traditional Richter tuning was primarily designed to play major chords and the corresponding major scale in the first position, the ''''Wilde Tuning'''' is specifically designed for playing in the minor pentatonic and the blues scale in the 2nd position and across all three octaves equally! I have always found the sound of the pull tones (and pull bends) to be fuller than the sound of the blow tones - the pull tones simply have more expression, a fatter sound and a nicer vibrato. With the ''''Wilde tuning'''' I can tune ALL draw tones (1-10) without exception and the fundamental note is a draw note in all three octaves. I believe that the ''''Wilde Tuning'''' is the configuration that every ambitious rock harmonica player has been waiting for for a long time!'''' The special tuning Wilde Rock Tuning enables the smooth playing of hard rock and blues rock licks. In detail: Channels one to five are unchanged from the Richter tuning. Holes six, seven and eight have the same tones as those in chambers two, three and four (one octave higher). Cell 9 has the same structure as hole 2 (two octaves higher) and in cell 10 the blowing and pulling tone have been swapped compared to the Richter tuning, so that the expressive bending in 10 is now a pulling bend! This setup makes playing the minor pentatonic and blues scales much easier: you don't need overblows/overdraws to reach the minor third and diminished fifth in the upper octave. These notes are now easy-to-play pull bends. Characteristics of the 1847 CLASSIC Full, loud and overtone-rich sound with easy and fast tone response thanks to stainless steel reeds. Tuning stability and lasting durability, even under extreme stress, thanks to the use of stainless steel for the reeds and rivets. Significantly lower air consumption thanks to reed plates manufactured using fine-cut technology, optimized flatness and minimal tolerances between reeds and reed plate. Undamped sound emitted through the sound cover, which is wide open at the back without bars. The sound covers are made of extra thick stainless steel sheet (0.4mm) and are completely flanged, thereby providing the necessary stability. Lip and beard-friendly design thanks to the sound cover with corners without incisions on the side of the mouth and ergonomically shaped, slightly curved, rounded comb openings. Insensitive to moisture thanks to the swelling-free maple comb body, which has been repeatedly sealed with food-safe varnish. '
