Brand new model blueharp14

Blueharp 14 comb

                   The aluminum comb is made with an original design from bluexlab

Brand new model: Blueharp 14

                     

Playing the Blueharp has never been easier!!
The Blueharp 14 is the brand new model produced in collaboration with Bluexlab.

Unlike the first model the Blueharp 14 is composed of two parts:

a 10 hole diatonic harmonica and on the left  you will get the IVth 7 and  the Vth 7 chords.

A small area without holes was created to divide the two parts.

This makes it really easy to play the Blueharp.

Two new reeds were placed on the reedplate to get the chords.

Blueharp: a real innovation

Gianni Massarutto

Blueharp is a harmonica meant to play blues and chords in 2nd positions (the most common within the blues).

for example: to play blues in the key of E, we will use a harmonica in the key of A.

With this harmonica you can play the standard solo phrasings ( holes 1-6).

And absolute innovation you can get the chords of the basic blues progression I°7,  IV°7, V°7

To achieve this result we divided the Blueharp in two parts:

First part: from hole 1 to hole 6 it is a standard harmonica (Richter tuning) and you can play the majority of the blues melodies.

Second part: blowing from hole 7 to hole 10 you will get the chord IV°7,  in this case A7.

Drawing from hole 7 to hole 10 you will get the chord V°7,  in this case B7.

The chords IV°7 and V°7 are built on the same octave giving a nice and balanced sound.

To orientate yourselves easily on the bottom cover we placed a golden tiny pellet that you can feel with your lips when the first part of the harmonica is ending.
