<font face="Arial">The ORCHESTRA S Session Steel Harmonica is a 10-hole, solo-tuned harmonica (orchestra tuning). As with the chromatic harmonica, all notes from the major scale are available throughout a two-and-a-half octave range.<br></font><h3><span style="font-weight: bold;">The ORCHESTRA S Offers Even More</span><font face="Arial"><br></font></h3><font face="Arial">Typically, the root note is found in hole 1-blow. The ORCHESTRA S places the root note at hole 3-blow, and half of the lower octave is added to holes 1 and 2. Since many players miss some of the notes on the standard Richter-tuned diatonic harmonica in the lower register the ORCHESTRA S allows them to hit the missing notes without having to apply a bending technique. The root note of the diatonic major scale is marked on the coverplate—it starts in 3 blow.</font><br><br><font face="Arial">This makes the ORCHESTRA S an ideal soloing instrument; the ten-hole design makes the ORCHESTRA-S compact enough to take your melodies anywhere.</font><br><br><font face="Arial">The note layout is basically the same as that of a chromatic harmonica, making the ORCHESTRA S a great starting harmonica for learning to play a chromatic. The compact size combined with SEYDEL's durability makes the ORCHESTRA S a good choice for musical education in schools.</font><br><br><font face="Arial">The ORCHESTRA S opens new possibilities to blues harmonica players by making it easy to play minor pieces (3rd position) with a sound similar to solos played on a chromatic, thanks to the solo-tuning. They will also appreciate the extended major scale in the lower register. The root note of the dominant chord is available in the hole 1-draw, making it similar to playing in 2nd position on a standard Richter-tuned harmonica.</font><br><br><font face="Arial">Seasoned blues players will find all the notes of the blues scale through natural notes and bent notes, bringing soul and color to their blues improvisation.</font>
