Do you know that? You hike and party with good friends. You like to sing while resting or in a relaxed atmosphere - what's missing is the accompanying instrument: an accordion is too heavy, a guitar too bulky... With the CONCERTO STEEL STAR 6 you can now bring out your pocket companion and spread a lot of good vibes. The full accordion-like and assertive sound is convincing across the board! Check out the tutorial video and our PDF instructions! Technical and musical characteristics: Six CONCERTO STEEL octave harmonicas make up the CONCERTO STEEL STAR 6. These are tuned in the Richter tuning, in which the tonic (I, basic chord) sounds when blown and the dominant seventh chord (V7) sounds when pulled. With this set of chords, many traditional (folk) songs can be played very well, although you always have to do without the subdominant chord in the accompaniment. Not so with the CONCERTO STEEL STAR 6: six CONCERTO STEEL octave harmonicas are screwed to the very stable star-shaped holder made of polished stainless steel. These are arranged according to the principle of the circle of fifths. You can easily switch back and forth between the instruments using two hand-made stainless steel buttons in the rotation axis: To do this, simply turn the star in front of your mouth. The order of the keys is in the tried and tested standard configuration Bb, F, C, HG, D and A. This means that the subdominant chord (level IV), which is equally important in a cadence (I, IV & V), can be played. The logical arrangement means you can always find the right chord level. Since the CONCERTO STEEL STAR 6 combines six instruments into one instrument, full cadences can be played in many of the most common keys: Bb, F, C, D, G and A major. Many of the chords on the CONCERTO Star 6 are available as wind and pull chords, so you won't run out of breath so quickly while playing! The instrument is delivered in a practical black fabric transport bag (see picture 4). The CONCERTO Star 6 is therefore a fully-fledged accompanying instrument in a compact form that can easily keep up with accordions or a guitar: small: Amazing Grace small: Oh Susanna small: Oh When The Saints The circle of fifths shows the subdominant (IV) to the left of the fundamental key (tonic; I) and the dominant (V) to the right of it! Example for a piece in C: F major <-- C major -- G major General: Subdominant (Level IV) <-- Tonic (Level I) -- Dominant (Level V) You can freely put together a different key combination for the CONCERTO STEEL STAR 6 (all semitones from A to HG are possible).
