The SKYDIVER STEEL TREMOLO is a traditionally-shaped tremolo harmonica with stainless steel reeds.

The SKYDIVER STEEL TREMOLO offers an incredible musical presence and assertiveness while providing a subtle and sweet tremolo sound. The tuning on the SKYDIVER is the most commonly used tuning of tremolo harmonicas

Also called 'asian tuning'....which is a more recently developed tuning is commonly found on tremolos manufactured in or designed for Asia. This layout is derived from the "solo" tuning found in chromatic harmonicas and is sometimes called "scale" tuning. Here the notes of the major scale are found throughout the range of the harmonica without a separate chord section in the bass octave. This helps to facilitate a common practice in Asia of playing both a C and C? harmonica stacked in order to achieve full chromaticity by having essentially the same notes available in each octave of the harmonica.) 

  • polymeric comb with single chamber per reed – very airtight and durable

This is the second skydiver I've purchased it's well tuned, bright and responsive. The stainless steel reeds should hopefully have a longer life span. I'm very pleased with my other one in key of G.
