REVOLUTION WITHIN TRADITIONMost players love the sound of a traditional wooden comb, but wood is

susceptible to moisture and deforms without careful sealing. SUZUKI decided to take a boldnew approach: create an all-new resin comb material which has the durability and non-absorbencyof warm timbre of a wooden comb, but the durability and non-absorbency of plastic. Not only does itsimulate the feel and sound of wood this material contains more than 50% of natural wood fibers.

The Manjis gorgeous stainless steel coverplates reflect the best of recent developments by customharmonica makers. To respond to the desires of blues and rock harmonica players, the back sidesof the covers are fully opened, for full sound projection.

Carefully researched reed lengths and profiles combining dynamic sound, long enduranceand easy overblow characteristics, complete the picture. Combined with the ultra-precise reedattachment, they respond faithfully to every subtle nuance of the players breath.The Manji M-20 is available in total

46 keys.

!The OLIVE is a wonderful harmonica. It has a combination of playability from MANJItogether with the robust sound of a PROMASTER.

The tone is very solid, strong and evenly distributed over the entire tone spectrum,

originated from low-end register together with a powerful midrange and a smooth top

octave. Suzuki OLIVE is a masterpiece right out of the box, tuned to perfection and a

beauty to behold in its detailed precision work. OLIVE is suitable for playing in styles of

prewar blues to modern over bend techniques... The OLIVE diatonic harmo nica

is developed, made and played in the 21st century. I truly love it! by

ULTRABEND!The Suzuki SUB30 UltraBend is a truly revolutionary diatonic harmonica!Suzuki's advanced reedplate technology has enabled us to fit 30 reeds in the size of a

normal 10 hole harp, 20 on the top reedplate and 10 on the lower.

The extra 10 are sympathetic reeds that allow you to bend the bottom 6 blow notes and

the upper 4 draw notes, using the same type of easy controllable technique as the normal

bends. That's never before been possible on a harp this size! The sympathetic reeds are

tuned to allow you to get accurate, stable half-step bends on these notes, making the

harmonica fully chromatic through simple bending technique alone! The chart below shows

all the notes you can now get with draw and blow bending

throughout the harp. by Brendan Power

TRADITIONALLY DESIGNEDWITHALL HARPISTSINMINDThe Harpmaster features an easy to play, free blowing design with its solidABS comb and focused note holes . The bendable laser tuned brass reeds pro-

duce the clarity and rich, mellow tones you would expect from much more

expensive harmonicas. The classically shaped reed covers offer the look and

feel of the traditional harmonica and they are built from durable polished

stainless steel. The Harpmaster will provide you with years of proven perfor-

mance. The Harpmaster includes a hard shell carrying case.

OverdriveOverdriveITSTHEONLYHARMONICAOFITSK IND!Years in the making, the amazing new Overdrive Harmonica is so

unique, it even has a special patent to protect its incredible design.Precisely placed holes in the top and bottom of this harmonica allow

you to produce thick, rich and beautiful overblow and overdraw sounds.

Although players have been bending notes for mor e than a century, it

has only recently been discovered that when you draw bend, it is the

BLOW reed that makes the bent note. Conversely, when you blow bend,

it is the opposite blow reed in the same air channel that makes the

bent note. With a little practice, the new Overdrive Harmonica will let

you blow and draw notes with greater control

and much bigger volume than any harmonica

youve ever played! Comes with deluxe car-

rying case.

INNOVATIVEANDUNCOMPROMISING!On a normal harp, note bending is available on the lower draw

reeds(holes 1-6) and upper blow reeds (holes 7-10) only, but the lower blowreeds and upper draw reeds cannot be bent in pitch. The special valving of the

Suzuki Promaster MR-350V allows the player to give EVERY note soulful

bending and vibrato! With practice, the extra bending control can

allow chromatic phrases to be played, as an alternative to overblow-

ing. It's simply a more expressive harp; that's the reason the MR-350V

is the first-choice diatonic of top players like Brendan Power (www.

brendan-power.com).
